• I don't know why I'm over here this job is evil
    They send me here to Vietnam to kill innocent people
    My mother wrote me said the President he doesn't care
    he's trying to leave the footprints of America here
    They say we're trying to stop Chinese expansion
    But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed
    Sent my whole entire unit thinking we can win
    Against the Viet-Cong guerillas there in Gia Dinh
    I didn't sign up to kill women or any children
    For every enemy soldier, we killing six civilians
    Yeah, and that ain't right to me
    I ain't got enough of mother ********' fight in me
    It frightens me and I just want to see my son and moms
    But over here they dropping seven million tons of bombs
    I spend my days dodging all these booby traps and mines
    And at night, praying to God that I get back alive
    And I'm forced to sit back and wonder
    Why I was a part of 'Operation Rolling Thunder'
    In a fox hole with nine months left here
    Jungle like the ********' harbinger of death here.
    Call me Thorburn, John A. Staff Sergeant, Marksman
    Skilling, killing, illing
    I'm able and willing
    Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage your village
    Illegitimate killers, US Military guerillas
    This ain't no real war, Vietnam s**t
    World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
    Soothing, drug-abusing, Vietnamese women screwing
    Sex, gambling and boozin', all the s**t is amusing
    Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
    I don't want to go home, where I'm just a ordinary human being
    Special OP, Huey chopper gun ship, run s**t
    Gook run when the mini-gun spit, won't miss, kill s**t
    Spit four-thousand bullets a minute
    Victor Charlie, hit trigger, hit it
    I'm in it to win it, get it
    The lieutenant hinted the villain, I've ended up killing
    I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
    A wizard with weapons, a secret mission we about to begin it
    Government funded, behind enemy lines bullets is spraying
    It's heating up, a hundred degrees
    The enemies the North-Vietnamese, b***h please
    Ain't no sweat, I'm told be at ease.
    Until I see the pilot got hit, and we about to hit some trees
    till the rotor broke, crash land, American man
    Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
    Take a swig of the whiskey to calm us
    Them yellow men wearing black pajamas
    They want to harm us
    They all up on us
    Bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
    To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
    Body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions
    Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestins
    Pray to the one above, It's raining and I'm covered in mud
    I think I'm dying, I feel dizzy, I'm losing blood
    I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
    I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
    I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
    Blacks, Whites, Asians, people of all types
    I must have died, then I woke up, suprised I'm alive
    I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
    I escaped the war, came back
    But ain't escape Agent Orange, two of my kids born handicapped
    Spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
    Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it they had it
    My son died he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
    Cause in life, God take, God give
