Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night   Human virtue affirmed, we are ennobled by our suffering   I don't believe in exceptionalism   I still have hope for the future      Come back home Johnny   Come back home Johnny   Come back home from Vietnam      Without resolve you are self-assured   With eager anticipation you are ready for a war   Faith in your fathers, honor thy family   I hold no regard. I am unapologetic      Come back home Johnny   Come back home Johnny   Come back home from Vietnam      Your war is over   Your war is over   Your war is over... Johnny
