| Take a Man |
| Take a man leave him alone. Put him 12,000 miles from home. Empty his heart of all but blood. Make him live in sweat and mud. This is the life that I have lived. And why my soul to the Devil I give. You peace boys and girls rant and rave from your easychairs. But you don't know what it's like over here. You have a ball without trying. While over here our boys are dying. You all want to ban the bomb. There's no war you say in Vietnam. Use your drugs and have our fun. And then refuse to lift a gun. There's nothing else for you to do. And I'm suspose to die for you? I'll hate you till the day I die. You made me hear my buddy cry. I saw his chest a bloody mess. I heard them say "This ones dead." It's quite a price he had to pay. Not to live another day. He had the guts to fight and die. He paid. But what did he buy He bought your life by giving his. But who gives a damn what a soldier did. |
