Vietnamese Blues lyrics
by GBH
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Well I just got back from Vietnam
Where I saw a baby in a pram
The next minute it wasn't there
I was getting paid too much to care
[Chorus]
Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnam Blues
[Verse 2]
Well I just got back from Vietnam
I got addicted to napalm
My teeth have rotted, they're just not there
I was getting paid too much to care
[Chorus]
Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnam Blues
[Verse 3]
Well I just got back from Vietnam
I got blown to bits by a bomb
My minds gone it's just not there
I was getting paid too much to care
[Chorus]
Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnam Blues
[Verse 4]
Well I just got back from Vietnam
Although I'm really only half a man
My wife's left, divorce coming through
I got no money what can I do?
[Chorus]
Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart
I can stop you if you start
Going out now on the loose
Gotta get rid of these Vietnam Blues
