Project Pitchfork - Vietnam lyrics

I wanted to fight So I went to war I thought it was right To fight for my country But then I saw the torture I saw the misery, the pain and the d**h And I was wounded, now I'm paralyzed All this has changed Has changed my point of view I shot enemys, now I know they were human I shot civilists, now I know I'm a murderer I had time to think, now I want to tell Those young men who want to be soldiers Who want to fight in a war for their country That I've seen it, that I'm a victim of war And that I don't want them to do The same mistake To do the same mistake Now I hate wars, hate wars Now I hate wars, hate wars Every time I close my eyes I can hear the screams I can see the dead and the fire I don't want them to see the things I saw I want to tell them They needn't to be soldiers to be men And I've learned that love and forgiveness Is better than hate and war, hate and war Now I hate wars, hate wars Now I hate wars, hate wars But now those people who sent me To their war forbid me to speak About the things I saw About the love, about the pleasure About the youth I lost About the youth I lost About the youth I lost In a war And I don't want them to do the same mistake Now I hate wars, hate wars Now I hate wars, hate wars ...
