Police Action Ii the Nam
The Nam!
Why is it we are here?
This place holds no danger
To those that we hold dear,
The Nam!
Two days on patrol,
Today, I was point man
And I had no control
The Nam!
My best friend died last night,
By a feces smeared bungee stick
As he died, I held him tight,
The Nam!
We must take that hill,
No matter, the rounds we fire
Or the number, that are killed
The Nam!
In my bunker,behind our lines,
I cannot help but wonder
If they're out there planting mines,
The Nam!
The ending of my tour,
The Sergeant came to tell me
Going home was not for sure,
The Nam!
We found another hole,
I swear sometimes these people
Are living like a mole,
The Nam!
Body bags, I have seen,
I must say, of my time here
I am sick of this whole scene,
The Nam!
I was shot, in my left arm,
They say, that I'll be safer now
Away from death and harm,
The Nam!
I'm feeling so alone,
All my friends are dead now
I want to go home,
Back Home!
I'm back in my own place,
A college girl, walked up to me
And Spat, upon my face
The Nam!.........................
So long ...... So Many........ God Bless you all....
