A Sixties Adventure
In this God-forsaken Asian jungle land,
some of us have been sent here to take a stand.
Chicken *****Charlie is the one we have to flush away.
We go through many villages each and every day.
We have been thrown into a great big *****hole.
On our sanity, many factors have taken their toll.
Shots rang out, and three of my buddies went down.
There was a sniper hiding in a hut across the town.
There was an old woman shooting in that place.
I took my rifle butt, and slammed it in her face.
This is what we have encountered in so many of the towns.
We will just have to keep spilling the blood of these clowns.
