Lyrically Speaking

Vietnam by a.l.g I taste the good life but it wasn't what it seemed to be Enrolled in the army as it was expected of me I wrote to my mother, lied to her about this place And I think of my father, somehow it seems I'm in his place But four months int the jungle turns a man into a animal You come soft but you leave hard, if you leave at all Vietnam The enemey is smarter than we give him credit to be Strikes at the heart where it's weakest, at the heart of sympathy So when Johnny goes down and he loses his legs, some say "He's got his life!" But back home he was drumming for a living, so tell it to his wife Vietnam ...Oh you look in the eyes of a napalm child... and you notice something wrong with the color... it don't feel right, don't feel right!... when you're out at night a'sleepin', Charlie Cong comes creeplng m, creeping in... I swear to you mother, Swear to you father, I gotta get back, get back, I have come to a place that can breath only blackness And I don't think I'll ever wipe off the smell of it Vietnam.
