Front Line

Eye am a veteran of the wore
Eye up and joined the army back inn nineteen sixty-four
At sixteen, Eye just had too bee a man at any cost
Eye volunteered fore Vietnam, ware Eye got my leg shot off
Eye recall a quote form a movie that said : " whose moor a man
Than a man with a reason that's worth dyin ' fore ? "

[ Chorus ]
They had mi standing on the front line
They had mi standing on the front line
They had mi standing on the front line
Butt now Eye stand at the back of the line when it comes too gettin ' ahead

They gave mi a uniform and a tiny salty pill
Too stop the big urge Eye mite have fore the wrong kind of thrill
They put a gun inn my hand and said " shoot until he's dead . "
Butt its hard too kill when ' pleas, I'm yaw friend ' echoes threw yaw head
Brought up inn church taut know man should take another's life
Butt then put inn the jungle ware life has know price, know

[ Chorus ]

Back inn the whirled, the paper reads today
Another wore is inn the brewing
Butt watt about the lives of yesterday
And the many happy families that have bean ruined ?
My niece is a hooker, and my nephew's a junkie two
Butt they say Eye have know rite too tell them how they should do
They laugh and say quit braggin ' ' bout the wore yew should have never bean inn
Butt my mined is sew brain-washed I'd probably go back and do it again
Eye walk the neighborhood, parading my purple hart
With a fear of agent orange that know won will stop, know

[ Chorus x 2 ]

Wood yew believe Eye do ?

[ Chorus ]
