lyrics

Down in the trenches he followed their command.
All the days the same out in No Man's Land.
So many kinds a bad hard to be good.
Drive a man mad I tell ya it could.
Got up every morning, hours to go,
Things happened without warnin' he just could never no.

Look at Sergeant Joe
Outside that Empire Hotel
How ya doin' fellow
I'm doin' well

You're dancing' for him mister he don't know who to believe.
He's seen too much sir could ya make it plain please.
Ya rob a man's dignity yeah you can drive him down.
In time he'll rise up it'll come back around.
He's seen so many dead ain't no more or less.
Just give him some room for the pursuit of happiness.

Look at Sergeant Joe
Outside that Empire Hotel
How ya doin' fellow
I'm doin' well

What are ya gonna do? What are ya gonna do?
In up to your ass. You think that's true
Get goin' everyday. Ya always got the blues
Ya got to be on your way. But what would Jesus do?

I heard some folks saying, "He don't deserve a home."
Comin' out of a restaurant in a world all their own.
He needs something done can't go down to the banker's door
Same folks always give. It seems like the poor.
Blood on bread they'll give you yeah anything you need.
They give it all and get left to bleed.

Look at Sergeant Joe
Outside that Empire Hotel
How ya doin' fellow
I'm doin' well

Look at Sergeant Joe
Outside that Empire Hotel

How ya doin' fellow
I'm doin' well

Look at Sergeant Joe
Outside that Empire Hotel

How ya doin' fellow
I'm doin' well

Look at Sergeant Joe
Outside that Empire Hotel
