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
chorus
this is my vietnam
i´m at war
life keeps on dropping bombs
and i keep score
mama was a lunatic
she liked 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 already pretty clever
repeat chorus (x 2)
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
