lyrics

For the Unknown Soldier

I would watch him playing in the sand
Building castles and allowing the sea to reclaim them
And it seemed altogether fitting they be returned from whence they came
He was always pretty quiet
One of those people you never seem to notice until you miss him
And then he’s gone
But soon came his time and he along with thousands of others
Left to fight for what he was told he believed in
I waited for mail but received none until a telegram came
Dear Sir: “we are so sorry to inform you…”
He was laid away quietly
No sun no wind no sound
Just a gray stillness and a faint echo resounding
It seems altogether fitting they be returned from whence they came

Vietnam Lullaby

Vietnam, napalm, lullaby my little child to sleep
Vietnam, rain is gone, lullaby my little child to sleep
Panthers fight in the night give my child such a fright
Weathermen bombing homes terror as he’s never known

Don’t you worry little son Daddy’s here with his gun
There's a war I don’t care no more just protect you and your mom

Life is now sad and gray why must we end this way?
Vietnam, napalm, lullaby my baby child to sleep
Washington bombed upon lullaby my little child to sleep

Here’s for the Birchers they’re gonna get your soul
Klansmen want the black men there gonna put them in a hole

Legionnaires breaking chairs on the heads of longhairs
Communists couldn’t miss bomb North Carolina
Vietnam, the whole world’s gone, now my little child’s asleep
