r a the rugged man - uncommon valor: a vietnam story lyrics
i don’t know why i’m over here, this job is evil
they sent me here to vietnam to kill innocent people
my mother always said, the president he doesn’t care
he’s trying to leave the footprints of america there
they say we trying to stop chinese expansion
but i ain’t seen no chinese since we landed
sent my whole entire unit thinking we could win
against the vietcong guerrillas 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 it ain’t right to me
i ain’t got enough of motherf-cking fight in me
it frightens me, and i just wanna see my son and moms
but over here they dropping seven million tons of bombs
i spent my days dodging all these b–by-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 foxhole with nine months left here
jungle like the f-cking harbinger of death here
i don’t wanna be here
i’m scared, i just wanna go home
you f-ckin’ kiddin’ me
don’t be a p-ssy, don’t you love your country?)
i like being here, i’m ready)
true story
call me thorburn, john a., staff sergeant
marksman, skilled in killing, illing, i’m able and willing
kill a village elephant, raping and pillage a village
illegitimate killers, u.s. military guerrillas
this ain’t no real war, vietnam sh-t
world war ii, that’s a war, this is just a military conflict
soothing drug abusing, vietnamese women scr-w-ng
s-x, gambling and boozin’, all this sh-t is amusing
b-tches and guns, this is every man’s dream
i don’t wanna go home where i’m just an ordinary human being
special op, huey chopper gun ship run sh-t
gook run when the minigun spit, won’t miss
kill sh-t, spit four-thousand bullets a minute
victor charlie, hair-trigger, hit it, i’m in it to win it
get it, the lieutenant hinted, the villain, i been it
the killing, i did it, cripple, did it
pictures i painted is vivid, live it
a wizard with weapons, the secret mission, we bout to begin it
government funded, behind enemy lines
bullets is spraying, it’s heating up a hundred degrees
the enemies the north vietnamese, b-tch please
ain’t no sweat, i’m told be at ease
until i see the pilot got hit, and we bout to hit some trees
tail rotor broke, crash land
american man in cambodia, right in the enemy hand
take a swig of the whiskey to calm us
them yellow men wearing black pajamas, they wanna harm us
they all up on us, bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
to my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions
bad intentions, i see my best friend’s intestines
pray to the one above
it’s raining, i’m covered in mud
i think i’m dying
i feel dizzy, i’m losing blood
i see my childhood
i’m back in the arms of my mother
i see my whole life, i see christ, i see bright lights
i see israelites, muslims and christians at peace, no fights
black, whites, asians, people of all types
i must’ve died then i woke up, surprised i’m alive
i’m in a hospital bed, they rescued me, i survived
i escaped the war, came back but ain’t escape agent orange
two of my kids born handicapped
spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
cerebral palsy, cortical blindness
name it, they had it
my son died, he ain’t live
but i still try to think positive
cause in life, god take, god give
