For the ones that always stood their ground For those who spoke when no one made a sound For the ones that fought until the end For the ones that died with empty hands For the ones that made it for so far For those who are real proud of every scar For the ones that probably die young You're my inspiration for this song For the ones that still stand proud For the ones that never ever had a doubt For the ones like you and me This one's for us For the ones they stomp into the ground For decent folks that often come around For the ones with poor hard working hands For the ones that no one understands For the ones that had been beaten down For those that feel true love for there home town For the ones that came out second best For those who are still damaged from the past For the ones that still stand proud For the ones that never ever had a doubt For the ones like you and me This one's for us It's for honest men who could not find a solution so they lied For macho men that are somehow still not man enough to cry For heroes trough out history that fought until they died And outlaws that have tried to show their ways were justified For the ones like you and me This one's for us For the ones that still stand proud For the ones that never ever had a doubt For the ones like you and me This one's for us
