Phil Ochs - Viet Nam Lyrics
U.s. soldiers are a-dying over there, over thereAs the status quo remains over thereU.s. soldiers are a-dying while their mothers sit home cryingIts a crime how theyre dying over there.Viet nam, oh viet nam, oh why must we die in viet namWell, I dont really care to die to die for the new frontierAnd make viet nam safe for di-em-o-cra-cy.Now one family rules the country over there, over thereAnd they lock up opposition over thereWell, I dont really crave to fill a viet nam-graveAs one family fills their pockets over there.*chorus*Now our soldiers burn the towns up over there, over thereAnd they relocate the people over thereNow this may sound like treason, but it sure shows lack of reasonTo lock up groups of people over there.*chorus*Well, if you want to stop the fighting over there, over thereThen you better stir up action over hereDrop your congressman a line, let him know whats on your mindAnd the crisis will be over over there.*chorus*
