My Vietnam

Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things
That we can take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless
I'll never forget
The look upon their faces as I
Treated them with respect

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

Mama was a lunatic
She like to push my buttons
She said I wasn't good enough
But I guess I wasn't trying
Never liked school that much
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearing it
Because I thought I was aiready pretty clever

What do you expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for you?
To make me okay in your eyes
