Vietnam Syndrome - Jerry's Kids

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
