Well he's staring at a bunch of papers wondering which ones to sign Some say he can have the money if the others say he's lost his mind He could really use the money cause he can't work anymore His mind's too bent and his back's too broke. Blames it all it's on the war He's having a beer and a cigarette It's not even twelve o' clock When I walk in , give him a hug, we sit down to have a talk He says you're looking more like your daddy son, each and every day C'mon in and have a seat I've got some news that's come my way Post traumatic stress disorder that's what the VA says I've got I guess all them memories finally stacked up from a war that everyone else forgot And I've got this sickness down in my lungs son and my blood's running thin Boy I think you're looking at the ghost of a Vietnam veteran I've seen some good men go down and they say I'm the lucky one because I got to come back to town But it's been near forty years and I can't close the door Just walking around in my own damn house as a Prisoner Of War Yeah it's near forty years later, there's another war in progress There's another soldier with his own traumatic stress He's driving a tank through the sand, watching the destruction on a screen He says it's all more like a video game with the brand new technology And he calls me on the phone sometimes just to let me know that he's still alive He wants to know if he makes it back home, if I could help him find a job. He says you know man I feel like I've aged twenty some odd years But you know it's only been seven short months since I had to come back over here Cause they work us hard every day and night .I'm finding out it takes a whole lot of work to cover up stuff that just ain't right Letras de cancionesHe says I'm sorry I woke you up brother it's just that sometimes I can't sleep If you think what they show on TV's bad... you ought to see my dreams Cause I've seen some good men go down like Birch and Chavez from the first tank battalion You know it's a crying shame and there will never be a settled score Cause no matter whether we live or we die... we'll always be...
