I don´t know
Well there´s no charge for the haircut
And the bullets come free
My Uncle Sam sent a letter, said:
He´s got a mission for me

Now I´m a ranger, not a stranger
And I live in Saigon
We´ve got a team of special forces
And we deliver napalm

But if they tell you that I´ve lost my mind
Maybe it´s not gone just a little hard to find
About the time this letter gets home
I´ll be gone, gone, yeah gone

And if they tell you that I´m M.I.A.
Think a little less about me each day
´Cause if I ever get back
I´ll be shell shocked

Feels funny riding in my car
Used to drive a tank and shoot a B.A.R.
I know I´m home
But I feel gone,gone, yeah gone

Now it´s over and the homeland´s safe
Got a purple heart to show the world I´m brave
The businessmen sat home
Well I got shell shocked
