Written after a visit to a shopping mall in Southern California. The mall was beside a large military base.I Saw The NewsTodayWords & Music by Mick Brady I heard him singing in the parking lot “Take this badge offa me” Home-made sign said he was homeless Beat up banjo on his knee Soldier’s jacket round his shoulders Red bandana on his head Guys like him all round this country The walking wounded, the living deadI saw the news today Young kids on their way Daddies proud Mommas crying But that's the price you have to pay I saw the news today I stopped and listened to him singing “Put my guns in the ground” The way he played you could believe him You kinda knew he’d been around Banners hanging from the drugstore Faded red, white and blue Said “Welcome home to all our heroes Appreciate what you do”
