Battle Hymn Of the Vietnam Vet
(sung to the tune of: "Battle Hymn of the Republic")
1) I am the Vietnam Vet,
I was a soldier of this land,
I had tried to do my duty,
And to gain the upper hand,
But they made me out a villian
They have stamped me with a brand,
As we go marching on...
2)I am just another soldier
from the shores of USA,
Forgotten on the battlefield
Ten Thousand miles Away,
While life goes on as usual,
From New York to Santa Fe,
As we go marching on...
3)I had seen my buddies ambushed,
on the left and on the right
And their youthful bodies riddled
by the bullets of the night,
Where ALL the rules are broken,
and the only law is might
As we go marching on...
4) While we're fighting in the jungle,
they were marching in the streets
While we're dying in the rice fields
They were helping our defeat
While we're facing VC bullets
They were sounding our retreat
as we go marching on...
5) With our sweat we took the bunkers,
With our tears we took the plain
With our blood we took the mountain
And they gave it back again,
Still, all of us are soldiers
We're too busy to complain
As we go marching on..
