HOA PASTEUR

When I was young began play my guitar   

along with the  radio   at  home.

Did  my best

Did my best I could

There was no way to play songs in my room.

Can't play that damn loud here! said Mom

and slammed door

in  my face. It's true.

I used to watch daily news on Vietnam

about all that bombing and fire.

what a mess!

ye ye ye

Pictures of scared to death eyes, open mouth.

Look at naked  Kim Phuc down a road after bombs.

crying out

Where is God?..........................................................................

 My generation could change this damn world

Martin L. King besides Gandhi and Dylan.

Peace and love

Flowers in the hair.

We started to march and wave signs in the streets

Cops threw tear gas in our face

and they beat

the shit out of us.

They took our sheets, ripped them up, put handcuffs

on our wrists and threw us into a van,

went like this

ye ye ye.

But there's no love without hate, there's no night

without day there's no sun without shade. 

Need a break.

Do or die

.................................................................................

I was a soldier for a few years

they taught me the ways to kill and destroy.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me for sure!

we used to jump out of the choppers and crawl.

There’s a sniper up there what do we do?

wait and see

he will show up again.

Look at that girl there pursued by a chopper

and shot down with ma-chine-gun fire

It's a slaughter

ye ye ye

Hey! Wadda fuck is going on around here

Some day this war's gonna end.

we gotta stop

Let's get out of here
