By Luke Sloan<\/em><\/p>\n

T<\/span>his is a song, neither is right or wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

About how to tell the stories of the war with the Vietcong.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There goes lavender on the floor<\/span><\/p>\n

He was the first out the door.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then goes Curt Lemon up in the trees<\/span><\/p>\n

When a bright light came from under his knees.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a 105 round that threw him up<\/span><\/p>\n

What a shame that he blew up up up up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was just playing arounddddddd like the kid that he was<\/span><\/p>\n

With best friend in the world Rat Kiley.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We go oohoohooh for their lost souls<\/span><\/p>\n

We go oohoohoho, ohohoho ohoho.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien, what a confused soul he is.<\/span><\/p>\n

He writes about things that we just couldn’t fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Lynn B Johnson that took us to war<\/span><\/p>\n

And what a tragedy it made the U.S. Poor!<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Lynn B Johnson who spoke to me<\/span><\/p>\n

On how this is our war.<\/span><\/p>\n

We spent billions an billions an billions an billions of money<\/span><\/p>\n

Sent millions and millions and millions of people off to war.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We go oohoohooh for their lost souls<\/span><\/p>\n

We go oohoohoho, ohohoho ohoho.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was rainy all day and all night<\/span><\/p>\n

And our boots were soaked all through the fight.<\/span><\/p>\n

We had a rough time even just to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through all the ups and down<\/span><\/p>\n

All we really wanted was to make you proud<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if we didn’t agree with the war<\/span><\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t just put you down\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was Lynn B Johnson that took us to war<\/span><\/p>\n

And what a tragedy it made the U.S. Poor!<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Lynn B Johnson who spoke to me<\/span><\/p>\n

On how this is our war.<\/span><\/p>\n

We spent billions an billions an billions an billions of money<\/span><\/p>\n

Sent millions and millions and millions of people off to war.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We go oohoohooh for their lost souls<\/span><\/p>\n

We go oohoohoho,\u00a0 ohohoho ohoho,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rich ripped us off and called out to me<\/span><\/p>\n

And forced our poor souls down to defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

They bought their way out of all misery<\/span><\/p>\n

And booed us all the way back home<\/span><\/p>\n

All the way back home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
