Conflict - Vietnam Serenade lyrics

rate me

They say from acorns great oak trees do grow <br />

And from evil man the genocide does flow <br />

From the expenditure the shock waves spread <br />

And the innocents in masses are easily led <br />

It don't really matter if it's communist red <br />

Or whether it's fascism that causes the fatal blow to the head <br />

America still don't realise it's mistake in 'Nam <br />

But they were not on the wrong end of the napalm <br />

They still carry on their search for power and glory <br />

Just another chapter in man's story <br />

Across the world, they rear their ugly heads <br />

Across the world in bloodshed red <br />

The story begins to wear thin <br />

They say it's in the name of law <br />

Will Vietnam be the forerunner to El Salvador? <br />

Another nine years of killings, injuries and rapes <br />

This year's winner is the Watergate tapes <br />

And this year's Kissingers a man called Haig <br />

And the descendants have all caught the red, white and blue plague
