Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things
That we 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 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

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
