VIETNAM SERENADE


They say from acorns great oak trees do grow 
And from evil man the genocide does flow 
From the expenditure the shock waves spread 
And the innocents in masses are easily led 
It don't really matter if it's communist red 
Or whether its fascism that 
causes the fatal blow to the head 
America still don't realise its mistake in 'Nam 
But they were not on the wrong end of the napalm 
They still carry on their search for power and glory 
Just another chapter in man's story 
Across the world, they rear their ugly heads 
Across the world in bloodshed red 
The story begins to wear thin 
They say its in the name of law 
Will Vietnam be the forerunner to El Salvador? 
Another nine years of killings, injuries and rapes 
This year's winner is the Watergate tapes 
And this year's Kissingers a man called Haig 
And the descendants have all
Caught the red, white and blue plague
