The First Vietnamese War Lyrics - Passover - The Black Angels

You gave a gift to me 

In my young age 

You sent me oversea 

And put the fear in me 

And I ask what for now 

Why me, why war? 

And I ask what for now 

Vietnam War? 

Spend my time there by the shore 

Oh we got off that boat 

Charlies everywhere 

A lotta killin' and dyin' 

And no one seems to care 

I ask what for now 

We say hell no 

And I ask what for 

Why me, why war? 

And I spend my time there by the shore 

Sixty thousand men died 

While you were here 

You came into our homes 

And you took our kids 

And you ask for more now 

For this new war 

And you ask for more now 

Vietnam War 

I spend my time there by the shore
