Vietnam War

A place where no one wants to be
A sight that no one wants to see
Looking for the enemy in the corner of your eye
If you have a silencer you’re classified as a spy.
If you get shot there's nowhere to be
No hospitals doctors or medics nearby
Frightened to death by a sound, got to fly!
Or you might have to say goodbye.
If an enemy soldier finds you you’re out of luck
Taken to prison because of bad luck
Punished and beaten for serving your country
Until the war ends they might let you free
