Paragraph Lyric
You gave a gift to me
In my young age
You sent me oversea
And put the fear in me
And I ask what for now
Why me, why war?
And I ask what for now
Vietnam War?
Spend my time there by the shore

Oh we got off that boat
Charlies everywhere
A lotta killin' and dyin'
And no one seems to care
I ask what for now
We say hell no
And I ask what for
Why me, why war?
And I spend my time there by the shore

Sixty thousand men died
While you were here
You came into our homes
And you took our kids
And you ask for more now
For this new war
And you ask for more now
Vietnam War
I spend my time there by the shore
You gave a gift to me   In my young age   You sent me oversea   And put the fear in me   And I ask what for now   Why me, why war?   And I ask what for now   Vietnam War?   Spend my time there by the shore      Oh we got off that boat   Charlies everywhere   A lotta killin' and dyin'   And no one seems to care   I ask what for now   We say hell no   And I ask what for   Why me, why war?   And I spend my time there by the shore      Sixty thousand men died   While you were here   You came into our homes   And you took our kids   And you ask for more now   For this new war   And you ask for more now   Vietnam War   I spend my time there by the shore
