Lyrics

Disgruntled veterans chill the leader’s speech
The air is thick on this day of memories
58,191. Their lives were spent on a war that was not won!
Blackwall - Why'd so many have to bleed
Blackwall - Will we ever see the need?
Blackwall - We sacrifice them for our greed
Blackwall - Why'd so many have to die
Verse 2
The pretty flowers at the tomb of the
Their lives were spent in the end just for stone
The "Rolling Thunder" parade the flag of black
And gather votes for the Missing Persons Act
I've got my glove laid upon his grave
He lost his life, I just lost my leg!
Blackwall - Why'd so many have to bleed
Blackwall - Will we ever see the need?
Blackwall - We send our sons away to die
Blackwall - And we can't even tell them why
Verse 3
We stand in silent witness
Of the names upon your face
And be a people for the whole human race
For 'lest we ever try to forget
We can’t ignore our Vietnam Vets!
(Chorus)
