Winter In QB (Front Lines) - Mobb Deep

Many thanks to Bill Concello for the drum parts...

Lyrics:

Master of chess,… values pawns less
On the front lines to clean up his mess

Lines in the sand that wind’s blown away
Nothing’s clear no more.  Why am I here anyway?

Who’s to blame? Who’s to gain? 
Feel no shame. it’s all the same, 
Soldiers slain? It’s just a numbers game…

Why?  Tell me why? What value am I?
To leave wife and child, to be sent here to die?

How’d I fall for this?  this bloody abyss…, 
the devil’s own kiss….  Where’s the honor in this?

Who’s to blame? Who’s to gain? 
Feel no shame…it’s all the same, 
Soldiers slain? It’s just a numbers game…

To kill or be killed,… so many lives lost
who's getting rich? Who’s counting the cost?
to be home a hot shower a warm meal and a bed.
The warmth of her skin when these layers are shed
If she left me now, I’d be better off dead.

Who’s to blame? Who’s to gain? 
Feel no shame…It’s all the same, 
Soldiers slain? It’s just a numbers game…

Who’s to gain? 
It’s all the same, 
It’s just a numbers game…

Numbers Game - with Bill Concello (drums)

Other than when we need to call 911, how often do we imagine the toll it takes on the lives of those whose  job it is to save our own?

More relevant than ever these variable and volatile times call upon those who remain steadfast on the front lines of caring for our citizens no matter what.

Listen in while Dr. Michael Marks shares his own decades long journey supporting the mental health of those who sacrifice their own lives in order to save others.

In this episode, Michael Marks distills what he’s learned about the women, men— the culture of first responders from veterans of foreign wars to the everyday civilian heroes who work in paramilitary cultures— the fire, police and EMT’s who put themselves into the fray between dire circumstances, their own safety— while supporting themselves and their families.
