Mama I hope this letter finds you… br ?In the very best of health.? br There ain't much good out here I do… br ?And even less I've felt?? br br But I've have learned a lot of truth? br And I've tightened up my belt br ?Shot folks here till my hands are blue? br Got a medal from the President. br br ??There's too many friends I've seen die br ?They say that makes me a man br ?I saw a guy who lost both legs cry br ?Just for tryin' to lend a hand.?? br br Y' know mama I keep wondering why? br We kill them to make them understand br ?That America goes to war to destroy…? br So peace reigns 'cross every land.?? br br Today we bombed another town? br Burned it right down to the dust br ?A few little children just stood around? br Too stunned to cry or fuss?? br br But our orders are to move on down? br So they can't keep a track of us ? br Part of me I lost… i hadn't even found? br And only dying squares it up.
