"My Vietnam" lyrics

Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless, I'll never forget
I look upon their faces as I treated them with respect
And

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

Mamma was a lunatic, she liked to push my buttons

She said I wasn't good enough, but I guess I wasn't trying
Never like school that much (School that much)
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearing it because I thought I was already pretty clever
And

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on dropping bombs
And I keep score

What do you expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for you to make me OK in your eyes?

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on dropping bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

This is my Vietnam
This is my Vietnam
