Lyrics
Our Own Vietnam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If the trees in former Yugoslavia could talk
they could tell you a little story
A story you don't wanna hear,
a story of hate, aggression, rape and fear
The almighty United Nations sent out troops to
control the situation
But while showing the world their superiority,
they got fooled and became
part of the genocide of a nation
And now they find the bodies of ten thousand
slaughtered men
We have our own Vietnam!
The United Fuckin States of America kept their hands dry
They learned their lesson back in the sixties
But United Naive bastards thought they could trust the enemy
They thought they could trust the enemy...
We have our own Vietnam!
All this time during that war they told us, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES
Told the women 'yes, your husband will return' LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES
And now they can no longer say 'we did what we could' LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES!
All this time during that war they told us, LIES, LIES, LIES
