What is happening to the real world?
Have they all gone nuts!
Protesting and carrying signs against something
They have no idea what's it all about
They are not the ones who should be
Believe it or not!
Why don't they keep the politics out and let us fight to win.
What do you mean they killed Martin Luther King?
And Bobby Kennedy too!
Then Kent State and My Lai too; what is a good soldier to do?
How did they let the world go so wrong?
Now. we got a WAR AT HOME!
Vietnam's a funny place; people here from every race.
Black and white and brown helping to defend the yellow race;
Fighting side by side just to stay alive.
If the people back in the WORLD could only just see
How we live and fight and die united by circumstances beyond our control
We don't care about the color of the skin.
That doesn't count on what determines a person's worth.
What would be the greatest tragedy of all;
To go home at the end of my time
Just to be killed on the streets of my hometown.
By a friend who was my brother
In another place and time.

Why people haven't figured out that no mater what color the skin is, we all bleed red. And when they need help they care less what color pulls them out of the fire.
