I’m feeling like the lowest thing,
The dung of the earth,
All along I wonder still,
Prolonging the search,
Can it be that what I’ve done,
Was all so wrong?
Can it be the weaker ones,
Will prove to be the strong?

They don’t know what it’s like,
They don’t know what I’ve seen,
They don’t know of my heartaches,
They don’t know of my dreams.
We’re going on a Charlie Alpha,
It’s gonna be a hot LZ,
Mister Cobra’s doing his job,
And he’s gonna clear the way for me.
FO’s giving grids,
To ARTY on the line,
Make it H.E. and Willie P,
And don’t waste any time!

Once it was my deeds,
By the people were condoned,
Now attitudes have changed,
And in their hands lay stones,
They brushed away my spirit,
And swept away my pride,
They’ve made me feel a criminal,
And missed the tears I’ve cried.

Things are getting hairy,
We’re taking 105s,
Can you get in Dust-off?
He don’t know but he’ll try.
The hour it grows late,
As we make our NDP,
Seventy-nines are popping,
As we take their RPGs.
Flares light up the night,
Shadows move unseen,
Fire red into the night,
And back come white and green.

I believe that what I’ve done,
Is just a part of man,
I don’t ask for your forgiveness,
But I hope you’ll understand,
They say that what I’ve done,
Is the evilest of sins,
But if time were summoned back,
I’d do it all again.
