Singer:black angels, the
you gave a gift to me
in my young age
you sent me overseas
and put the fear in me
and i ask what for now
why me
why war?
vietnam war?
spent my time there by the shore
oh we got off that boat
charlies everywhere
a lotta killin' and dyin'
and no one seems to care
i ask what for now
we say hell no
and i ask what for
and i spent my time there by the shore
sixty thousand men died
while you were here
you came into our homes
and you took our kids
and you ask for more now
for this new war
vietnam war
i spent my time there by the shore
