Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story

I don't know why I'm over here this job is evil

They send me there to Vietnam to kill innocent people

My mother wrote me said the President he doesn't care

We trying to leave the footprints of America here

They say we're trying to stop Chinese expansion

But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed

Sent my whole entire unit thinking we can win

Against the Viet Cong guerillas there in Gia Dinh

I didn't sign up to kill women or any children

For every enemy soldier, we killing six civilians

Yeah, and that ain't right to me

I ain't got enough of mother fuckin' fight in me

It frightens me and I just want to see my son and moms

But over here they dropping seven million tons of bombs

I spend my days dodging all these booby traps and mines

And at night, praying to God that I get back alive

And I'm forced to sit back and wonder

Why I was a part of 'Operation Rolling Thunder'

In a fox hole with nine months left here

Jungle like the fuckin' harbinger of death here

I don't want to be here. I'm scared, I just want to go home.

You fucking kidding me? Don't be a pussy. Don't you love your country?

I like being here. I'm ready.

True story...

Call me Thorburn, John A. Staff Sergeant, Marksman

Skilling, killing, illing

I'm able and willing

Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage your village

Illegitimate killers, US Military guerillas

This ain't a real war, Vietnam shit

World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict

Soothing, drug-abusing, Vietnamese women screwing

Sex, scampling and booze, and all the shit is amusing

Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream

I don't want to go home, where I'm just a ordinary human being

Special OP, Huey chopper gun shit, run shit

Gook run when the mini-gun spit, won't miss, kill shit

Spit four-thousand bullets a minute

Victor-Charlie, hit trigger, hit it

I'm in it to win it, get it

The lieutenant hinted the villain, I've ended up killing
