paul hardcastle - 19 (kid crab remix) lyrics

[intro]
i remember looking at my men
the average age was nineteen
my god, you know? i’m taking boys to war
nineteen
fourteen british military personnel are k!lled in afghanistan
the worst loss of life in a single day since the conflict began
does this all sound too familiar?
this is the story of men who are victims of war
they fought the longest war in american history (war)
they all saw heavy combat in vietnam

[chorus]
n+n+n+n+nineteen
n+n+n+n+nineteen

[bridge]
in 1965, vietnam seemed like
just another foreign war
but it wasn’t, it was different in many ways
and so were thosе who did the fighting
in world war ii, the averagе age of the combat soldier was twenty+six
in vietnam, he was nineteen

[chorus]
n+n+n+n+nineteen
n+n+n+n+nineteen (nineteen)
[verse 1: kid crab]
a voice in my head is saying, “welcome to h+ll”
will i even survive? there’s only one way to tell
it’s either him or me, but one of us gotta die
as i stone cold stare into my enemy’s eyes

[chorus]
n+n+n+n+nineteen
n+n+n+n+nineteen (nineteen)

[verse 2: kid crab]
a voice in my head is saying, “k!ll or be k!lled”
my adrenaline is flowing, through my blood, it’s real
i feel death in the air, i see men on the ground
tunnel vision, then silence, uh, and it’s a deafening sound

[chorus]
that kid was only nineteen
n+n+n+n+nineteen (nineteen)
nineteen (nineteen)
n+n+n+n+nineteen (nineteen)

[bridge]
the average age was nineteen
my god, i’m taking boys to war
vietnam (saigon)
[verse 3: kid crab]
a voice in my head is saying, “this ain’t a game”
yo, it’s a living h+ll, life will never be the same
what’s the reason i’m here? why should i be at war?
when i don’t even understand what i’m fighting for
does this sound oh+so familiar?
it’s all too familiar (war)

[chorus]
that kid was only nineteen
n+n+n+n+nineteen (nineteen)
nineteen

[outro]
there is no more obscene way to die
than be shot to death with war
that kid was only nineteen
british soldier was k!lled and five others injured
after they were came under fire in northern afghanistan
the heaviest fighting of the past two weeks continued today
twenty five miles northwest of saigon
the average age was nineteen
the average age was nineteen
mystery keeps repeating itself (itself)
