Where the mayor was making a speech
And the boys coming home from the war
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war
We were kings in command, we had God on our side
Nothing has changed
And we said, "Nothing will make us change in any way
Some boy left behind in the war
From a house down in the old town
Far away from all the music and the girls
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine
Since yesterday, nothing has changed
And the crowd started cheering
Since yesterday, nothing has changed
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black
Last night, they were dancing in the streets
Since yesterday, we're just the same
And making music in the alleyways and bars
Just staring at a photograph of someone
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night
Came the sound of guitars Margarita was waiting inside
Since yesterday, we're just the same"
The boys coming home from the war
The news had traveled fast and everyone went to be
And she began to cry for a boy left behind in the war
I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light
And we said, "Nothing will make us change in any way
And they stood without any word
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine
Last night, I was walking through the shadows
Since yesterday, we're just the same
When he talked about the glory of it all
Since yesterday, we're just the same"
We're just the same
We were kings in command, we had God on our side
