Another day passes by while bloodshed reigns
upon our fellow brothers at arms,
trying their hardest to serve our country at any price.
Another day passes by as we march toward our graves.
We cross the jungles of ‘Nam,
but what has that gotten us?
One by one, the bullets zip past our sight,
one by one, a brother falls with a soft thud.
We are average Americans with families,
with wives waiting for us back home,
little ones wondering where their daddy is.
None of us have asked to be soldiers,
yet here we are.
Because we are proud Americans with a duty
to serve our country at any price.
