IF IT WERE YOU HAVING TO MAKE A CHOICE
BETWEEN YOUR COUNTRY AND THOSE WITH A VOICE
WOULD YOU GO OFF TO FIGHT COMMUNISM
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
OR WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THE PROTESTERS WITH THEIR LONG LOCKS AND CURLS
WOULD THERE BE DOUBTS IN YOUR MIND ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG
OR WOULD YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR LEADERS BECAUSE THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN STRONG
THEY WOULD NOT LIE TO YOU WITH YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE
FOR THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY - THEY'RE NOT BLIND
AS FOR THOSE DEMONSTRATORS - THEY CAN''T BE SEEING CLEARLY
THEY'VE GOT TO KNOW COMMUNISM CAN CREEP UP ON YOU EARLY
I'VE MADE MY CHOICE AND I KNOW IT'S RIGHT
EVEN THOUGH THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE PEOPLE DESPISE ME IN THEIR SIGHT
THESE PEOPLE WANT THEIR INDEPENDANCE JUST LIKE IN THE GOOD OLE U.S. OF A.
AND WE'RE HERE TO MAKE SURE THEY GET IT NO MATTER WHICH WAY
AS I SEE MY BUDDIES CRIPPLED AND KILLED
I'M SURE MY LEADERS KNOW WHAT'S BEST WITH THEIR DETERMINED WILL
BUT JUST MAYBE I HAD NO CHOICE AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT
BECAUSE I'M FOR MY COUNTRY AND THERE'S NO WAY AROUND IT
EVEN THOUGH THOSE THAT SENT US DIDN'T HAVE TO FACE THE GORE AND THE KILLING
MAYBE IF THEY HAD - THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO WILLING
