Caged into the chopper Crossing the green Camouflage confusing his eyes His company down under Shots from nowhere Loyalty'll be denied in time Followed the call of pride Patriotic to fight for stars and stripes Heroic left his home To invade a land Where he doesn't belong Agent orange cleared his sight now A different face stared at him somehow Gas changed the conflict Sort of deranged Hope and honour Have fallen with the green Deprived of the green filter No more cruelties censored War can't be ignored any longer Wishes he was out of sight again The green is gone Shelter's slain The hidden heroes Delivered to the pain It's in his face Where they run, where they fall It's in his mind Unable to close the scar Heroic image uncovered Escaping from it's challenging disguise
Into the green Into the green Where mortality's unseen Into the green Where war games are so easy to play Soon it was done The hell of Vietnam Unveiled it's violated grace His company down under Strategic demands Raged like a tropic disease It's been hard to watch 'em die Trying to forget Operation My Lai Though he didn't really mind To hear some Viet Cong's women cry Agent orange cleared his sight now Loyalty was kicked away somehow Turned the chopper Left the violence Into the green Where war is as once Deprived of the green filter No more cruelties censored War can't be ignored any longer Wishes he was out of sight again Into the green Into the green Where mortality's unseen Into the green Where bravery's what it means Invisible, in the green
