Saw Vietnam as a partisan and wished I'd never been

Where the air turned red as the bodies bled into a schoolboy's dream
D A D A
But who were there could only stare into this wondrous scene

Verse 2
D A D A G6
In Germany in the forty five, my mind was on the altar
D A D A G6
Thought of god, the iron rod and thought that needed shelter

From 'Tragen' pain and men insane and eyes that got much colder

Saw a German son with a Yankee gun and a uniform much older

Verse 3
D A D A G6
Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero's welcome

For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion

In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation
