Rusting tank near Cu Chi Tunnels
Crossfire
Caught inside the crossfire
In
between what's right and wrong
I've
been too many places where
I
know I don't belong
I
guess everything inside of me
Got
changed back in the war
I
suppose I was confused about
What
we were fighting for
I
thought to free a nation
And
a people just the same
I
didn't realize it then
That
it was just a game
So
much for truth and honor
From
our leaders like I said
As
people died not knowing why
No
politician bled
In
their piety they question
Asking `where did we go wrong'
Excuses lame, they were to blame
As
it went on and on
It's
so easy making choices
When
the fight is miles away
For
them there was no sacrifice
No
debt of blood to pay
My
rage at their indifference
Still lives inside of me
We
left those people dying
When
they wanted to be free
