Vietnam

Little baby child
lying by the road.
Little baby child,
were you never told?
We gave you war,
to save your soul.

Who can sort the bombs?
Who can fix the blame?
Who can find your mother?
Who will learn your name?
Can your lifeless eyes
see through our shame?

Your village is burned.
Your people are dead.
Yeah, they died hungry,
but now the rats are fed.
As weeping soldiers
count bodies, instead.

Will times never change?
Are rights made with wrongs?
Wars for wealth start fast,
yet they last so long.
Wise men will make money,
Fools will just write songs...

Little baby child
lying by the road.
You look so lonely,
Your body's so cold.
We gave you war,
give us back our soul!
