Tommy laughed
He heard the news: men heading overseas
And caught a train to Canada – a patriot, you see
All those in charge would brand it cowardice and crime
It was 1968 - a peace sign of the times
Some say that all's fair in love,
Not much more
But tell me why do soldiers fall
When your back's to the wall
Tell me how you handle…..
War and America
Is it right or wrong? Is it who we are?
Buried deep inside where the children cry
But feel no love when fathers die
War and America
Do you raise the flag?
Do you burn for love?
Is the land of all the free and brave what we save?
Mr. Jones from Vietnam has got a son at sea
Down the street the captain's daughter follows in his way
How to love America, there are so many ways
But on the battlefield alone, a soldier dies today
Dreams in pursuit of a true peace-of-mind
Is it really worth it all when all goes wrong?
Is it worth the wage of…..
War and America
Does the world remember?
Does the world forget?
The blood of every glory
Or the pain of wounds that never heal
War and America
Is it right or wrong? Is it who we are?
Give me peace-of-mind when the parents cry
'Cause there's no love when children die..
