War Rages On
A little boy walks a lantern lit street With a heartache in his eye He says if you buy a lucky coin It's good for you and me This young boy, he was covered in the dirty life
All his friends, they jump on top of me And they ask, did I ride a kangaroo to school I said who told you that you silly boys They said it was one of them Yankee fools They need a little food And they need a little money While I just want to be back home With my honey For I ain't seen her in so long I can barely write this song
My heart is aching not for money like them But for my darling back home How I been missing To my hotel I walk A stumbling man Homesick in Hoi An
A ladyboy walks the dark promenade She asks do you need cocaine, do you want to get laid And in the distance drunken Poms Are singing merry tunes In the alley an old man sucks upon the hard life fumes He needs a little food Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And he needs a little money While I just want to be back home
With my honey For I ain't seen her in so long I can barely sing this song
My heart is aching not for money like them But for my darling back home How I been missing To my hotel I trip And hit my head with a bang Drunk and disorderly in Nha Trang
There's two dogs fornicating In the main street of town Like street clowns putting on a show For the crowd that surrounds A little girl chokes upon the smoke That fills this Saigon sky She puts out her hand And preys to her lord Says don't let me die So I give her some food And 50,000 dong But nothing compensates For a world that's done you wrong She was born into a life where A silent war rages on
