I see you swinging through the air on a vine
I feel awake and I wasted a smile
I like a solider in the deadly sun
Who ain't afraid to cock a loaded gun

In Vietnam

I know we're deep inside the enemy line
And that I could've picked a much better time
But you're the one who makes me feel more punk
And why I've come to love the loveless junk

In Vietnam

Behind the cover of the camouflage
Behind the glory of a losing cause
There is a solider in the deadly sun
Who ain't afraid to cock a loaded gun

In Vietnam

Go go ready to go
