Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we
Take advantage ofOnce I fed the homeless
I'll never forget
The look upon their faces
As I treated them with respect, andThis is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep scoreMomma was a lunatic, yes
She liked to push my buttons
She said I wasn't good enough
But I guess I wasn't tryin'Never liked school that much
(School that much)
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearin' it because I thought
I was already pretty clever, andThis is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep scoreThis is my Vietnam
I'm at war
(At war)
They keep on droppin' bombs
And I keep scoreWhat do you expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for you
To make me okay in your eyes?This is my Vietnam
(This is my Vietnam)
I'm at war
(At war)
They keep on droppin' bombs
(Droppin' bombs)
And I keep scoreThis is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep scoreThis is my Vietnam
This is my Vietnam
