(Spoken)
That's him in the corner of social oblivion
Encompassed by the sweet sense of freedom
That only borders the aura of deep cerebral gouges
Buried in each beat of the heart he was once proud to home
If only his substance held a higher level of potence
He might be able to drown the portion of his mind
Which is trapped in the infinite hoard
Of his 1972 through '74 tour through the flames of this hell

Sometimes gunfire is brighter than the sunshine
And sometimes a child's scream influences every dream
Sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking we've moved on
But no way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen

It's now twenty-five years later, he's on the brink of forty-three
Still searching for sanity, surveying the floor of his distorted sea
He rememebers high-school friends joking about the war
Never knew what mom was crying for (Never knew what mom was crying for)
The other piece that shines in his min
Pina Colada Am Strand Von Hawaii lyrics

Gib mir die Hand und flieg mit mir ins Paradies

laß deine Sorgen und den Alltag mal zu Haus.
Ich träum' so lange schon vom Sommer
Wind und Meer

um darum sage ich zu dir:

Nur du und Pina Colada am Strand von Hawaii

barfuß im schneeweißen Sand.
Mit Pina Colada am Strand von Hawaii
geh ich mit dir Hand in Hand.
Im Zauber der Südsee sind wir gefangen

in Träumen
die nie mehr vergeh'n.
Wir zwei und Pina Colada am Strand von Hawaii

sagen nie wieder good bye.

Gitarren spielen uns ein Lied

d was a divine first love
Sewn-made, beauty, brown-eyed queen he left behind
He remembers holding her tight, watching the sunset at shore
Never knew what she was crying for (Never knew what she was crying for)
He got the letter in the mail by the middle of his summer
Wouldn't have had to go if it wasn't for his newborn brother
He was barely eighteen, murdering people even younger
And he still ducks and covers every time he hears the thunder
He still hears the screams, smells the flesh, tastes the death
Sees the blood, feels the pain, what's to gain, nothing's left
But the slug that remains in his right calf
The bullet laughs every time he cries, and it drives him mad
Trying to sleep, but the visions give him a cold sweat
The war's been over for two decades, but he still hasn't been home yet
And every day he waits and strains to supress his guilt
And forget the horror and the violence; the "kill or be killed"
Fists, they always clenched; teeth, they always grinding
Real life is lost and in a bottle he tries to find it
"It's not fair," he mumbles through a nightmare
Only in a fight for two years and wound up spending his whole life the
I Tried lyrics

Damn, she crazy, and she done a whole lot too,
She gone tap my phone, she stole my credit card.
she turned my cable off,
I swear she's driving me insane.
She cut up all my clothes,
Threw my shoes in the pool
She smashed up my new car.
She is straight up acting like a fool.

[Chorus:]
I tried to kick her out.
I tried to set her free,
But she just won't let me go.
I done change all my locks.
I threw away her keys,
But she just won't leave me alone.

She kicked my niggas out,
Said they been sp

(Chorus)
He was face to face with the devil for the welfare of his country
Now he's straining to live but his conscience won't let him
It ain't flashbacks, you have to understand the tragedy, see
He left the war, but the war never left him, see
He left the war, but the war never left him, see
He left the war, but the war never left him, see
He left the war, but the war never left him, see
He left the war...

It's now twenty-five years later, he's on the edge of a park bench
He asked God for hope and found his source non-existant
He sits in the shadows, because the sun burns no more
Now he knows what mom was crying for (Now he knows what mom was crying for)
I used to watch old man in the park
The sights slowly drove fright through my heart
Wishing I could help but not knowing where to start
I'd walk away, curse the world, gush some love and curse some more
Now you know who I've been crying for (Now you know who I've been crying
for)
He threw his medals in the river but they sunk alone
Put shades on his eyes to hide it from the warzone in the sky
He tried to slit his wrists about a month ago
But he's seen so much death, he's scared
Remains lyrics

-Close and lock the door
Keep it cold and damp
Cut my bones up small
Drain my neck
Tie me up
Around your melted thighs
Wear me up your sleeve
And lose my mind
A greeting in hand...
Same I am
Faded green eyes
Jaded green lies
The greed inside - I said
You're diggin' on my remains now
You're diggin' on diggin' on diggin' on
You're diggin' on my remains now
Diggin' on diggin' on diggin' on
Ageless the plan
Same I am
Faded green eyes
Jaded green lies
The greed inside - I said
You're diggin' on my remains now
You're diggin' on diggin' on digg
 to life of suicide
If there was only some way he could escape this penitentiary
Goals get bigger and figures it'll chase away his memory
But the dreams only worsen, the scenes almost burst in
He recalls how training took away his right to be a person
Put a gun in his hand, left him to die for the land
The plan was the murder of man (The plan was the murder of man)
Politicians have a dispute to decide to send in troops
But the truth is they just don't understand (They just don't understand)
Now he's running out of time, and running out of energy
But 'til the last day he will fight for the murder of his memories
And although he never got rid of his dog-tags
He still wishes they'd have sent his parents an American flag

(Chorus)

Sometimes gunfire is brighter than the sunshine
And sometimes a child's scream influences every dream
Sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking we've moved on
But no way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
No way, nohow, do we ever forget what we've seen
