Every 18 months or so
It's like tunic for the soul
To sit and have a beer somewhere
With all the boys that were over there
Nobody's wearing army greens
We're 22nd inventory
Where the naves are just up on that wall
We all gave some but some gave all
We're still fightin' the battles
Even though there ain't no rifles in our hands
Those memories are bright as a candle
Like those traces in the place called Vietnam
Nobody cares about that war
That's what I've got my brothers for
To help me to remember and forget
All the stories, all the scars
How we sold our justice heart
How the blood we shed was just as red
Just as red (ah, ah, ah)
We feel guilty for the wars we've lost
Come back and lives had its cost
Everybody's got their cross to bear
Be it here be it there
It's still around us everywhere
We're still fightin' the battles
Even though there ain't no rifles in our hands
Those memories are bright as a candle
Like those traces in the place called Vietnam
Nobody cares about that war
That's what I've got my brothers for
To help me to remember and forget
All the stories, all the scars
How we sold our justice heart
How the blood we shed was just as red
As feels we live
And the thoughts we dripped
Going through our heads
We're still fightin' the battles
Even though there ain't no rifles in our hands
Those memories are bright as a candle
Like those traces in the place called Vietnam
Nobody cares about that war
That's what I've got my brothers for
To help me to remember and forget
All the stories, all the scars
How we sold our justice heart
How the blood we shed was just as red
Just as red
We can't forget
Don't forget
It's just as red
