he was 19
and landed in background
scared and all alone
lost a leg and a girlfriend
before he got home
and they say all is fair in love and war
but that aint true is wrong
they ship you out to die for us
forget about you and you don't
he was 19 and 68
and after all this time
that broken boy is now a broken man
waiting in a va line
they say holy spirit love him more
but that ain't true is wrong
theu ship you out to die for us
forget about you and you don't
and nightmares and he's running scared
far from home
and wakes up from a nightmare
kissing another one
he's still not home
they're condecorated heroes
and pins some medals on their chest
give him a tiny little pigeon
could we do much less
tjeu say all is fair in love and war
but that ain't true is wrong
they ship you out to die for us
forget about you and you don't
they say all is fair in love and war
but that aint true is wrong
they ship you out to die for us
forget about you and you don't
tjeu say holy spirit love him more
but that ain't true is wrong
they ship you out to die for us
and forget about you and you don't
