The Black Angels — The First Vietnamese War lyrics

Lyrics

You gave a gift to me In my young age
You sent me overseas
And put the fear in me And I ask what for now
Why me, why war?
And I ask what for now
Vietnam War?
Spent my time there by the shore
Oh we got off that boat
Charlies everywhere
A lotta killin' and dyin'
And no one seems to care
I ask what for now
We say hell no And I ask what for
Why me, why war?
And I spent my time there by the shore
Sixty thousand men died
While you were here
You came into our homes
And you took our kids
And you ask for more now
For this new war
And you ask for more now
Vietnam War
I spent my time there by the shore
