Grinder - Agent Orange lyrics

rate me

Caged into the chopper<br />

Crossing the green<br />

Camouflage confusing his eyes<br />

His company down under<br />

Shots from nowhere<br />

Loyalty'll be denied in time<br />

<br />

Followed the call of pride<br />

Patriotic to fight for stars and stripes<br />

Heroic left his home<br />

To invade a land<br />

Where he doesn't belong<br />

<br />

Agent orange cleared his sight now<br />

A different face stared at him somehow<br />

Gas changed the conflict<br />

Sort of deranged<br />

Hope and honour<br />

Have fallen with the green<br />

<br />

Deprived of the green filter<br />

No more cruelties censored<br />

War can't be ignored any longer<br />

Wishes he was out of sight again<br />

<br />

The green is gone<br />

Shelter's slain<br />

The hidden heroes<br />

Delivered to the pain<br />

It's in his face<br />

Where they run, where they fall<br />

It's in his mind<br />

Unable to close the scar<br />

Heroic image uncovered<br />

Escaping from it's challenging disguise<br />

<br />

Into the green<br />

Into the green<br />

Where mortality's unseen<br />

Into the green<br />

Where war games are so easy to play<br />

<br />

Soon it was done<br />

The hell of Vietnam<br />

Unveiled it's violated grace<br />

His company down under<br />

Strategic demands<br />

Raged like a tropic disease<br />

<br />

It's been hard to watch 'em die<br />

Trying to forget Operation My Lai<br />

Though he didn't really mind<br />

To hear some Viet Cong's women cry<br />

<br />

Agent orange cleared his sight now<br />

Loyalty was kicked away somehow<br />

Turned the chopper<br />

Left the violence<br />

Into the green<br />

Where war is as once<br />

<br />

Deprived of the green filter<br />

No more cruelties censored<br />

War can't be ignored any longer<br />

Wishes he was out of sight again<br />

<br />

Into the green<br />

Into the green<br />

Where mortality's unseen<br />

Into the green<br />

Where bravery's what it means<br />

<br />

Invisible, in the green
