Love and War

He was nineteen

And landed at Bagram

Scared and all alone

He lost a leg and a girlfriend

Before he got home

And they say all is fair in Love and War

But that ain't true it's wrong

They send you off to die for us

Forget about you when you're done

He was nineteen in '68

After all this time

That pumpkin' boy is now a broken man

Waitin' in a VA line

They say all is fair in Love and War

But that ain't true it's wrong

They ship you out to die for us

Forget about you when you're done

And the nightmares

And he's running scared

Far from home

And he wakes up

From a nightmare

He's in another one

He's still not home

They call 'em decorated heroes

And pin some medals on their chest

Give 'em a tiny little pension

Could we do much less

They say all is fair in Love and War

But that ain't true it's wrong

They ship you out to die for us

Forget about you when you're done

They say all is fair in Love and War

But that ain't true it's wrong

They ship you out to die for us

Forget about you when you're done

They say all is fair in Love and War

But that ain't true it's wrong

They ship you out to die for us

But forget about you when you're done
