Once again the meek young man is fighting in the jungles of a foreign land weary soldier sentenced to die , to bear the pain and not to cry slanted eyes we're told to kill , from warped minds on Capital Hill shattered dreams , the future lost , face down in the mud when the bomb is tossed You are ordered to die - without a tear in your eye You are ordered to die - hearing the generals cry Die killing laugh when the bloods on your hands Die killing cut down the beast where he stands body counts innocent children , the pits of horror reaches the Geisha den obsession to kill , overcomes your mind but the path of freedom you'll never find Viet Cong , troopers attack finding yourself being shot in the back final breath your slowing heart , you lived it for a shot in the dark You are ordered to die - without a tear in your eye You are ordered to die - hearing the generals cry Die killing laugh when the bloods on your hands Die killing cut down the beast where he stands Uncle Sam has got you in chains your life and death has been arranged by mighty figures behind a desk tattered old glory lays you to rest medals worn , by body bags human flesh , wrapped up in rags giving your life , no one cares purple hearts , nobody wears power to kill , lies in the pen the ink of death is telling you when kill for peace , a losers game American public , faces the shame coming home , no big parade no fat cigars , no lemonade the laughing stock , of the town General Bradley , has made me a clown Die!!!!
