Ten years back from Vietnam He gave his mind to Uncle Sam He thought he had control of his life But he went demented and grabbed a knife - LODGED DEEP INSIDE HIS HEAD VISIONS OF WAR VISIONS OF THE DEAD His pencil becomes a bayonet You tried to help but the fire's set Now he's after you and he's after me We're not American, we're VC CHORUS So thanks very much for his kick in the face He's not alright, he's in outer space Just give him a shot, he'll be alright Man, you just want him out of sight
