Vikram Devasthali - No One Wins Lyrics

At the corner of the bar sits a long forgotten star hoping somebody will recognize his face
And the radio is on, full of voices dead and gone, and he wishes he could go and take their place
No one wins
Now an old retired vet sits and smokes a cigarette
And her suffering is written on her face
For her friends in the attack who are never coming back
And she wishes she could go and take their place
No one wins
Day dreams aren't made to last
Promises fade too fast
Chasing a perfect grade, you passed
Now it's time to close the bar and the soldier and the star
They are standing on the sidewalk face to face
She has seen that face before in a film about the war
But the memory is a thought she cannot place
No one wins
