hell let loose

Verse 1: America's a hypocrite, we say we stand for peace But when it comes to war, our actions do not cease We claimed we were defending ourselves from the reds But when we invaded Vietnam, we left countless dead Before the war, I didn't even know it was a country I thought it was a food, not sweet like honey But now I see the truth, this war is not funny The pain and suffering we caused, it's not worth the money Chorus: Vietnam war, a tragedy we can't ignore We thought we were fighting for freedom, but what for? The lives lost, the families torn apart The scars of war, they'll never depart Verse 2: We sent our soldiers to fight, to protect our land But in the end, we just played into the government's hand Propaganda and lies, they fueled the war machine And when the truth came out, it was too late to intervene We couldn't go to bed, with the sounds of war all around The deafening noise, it was an unbearable sound We thought we were doing what was right, but we were wrong The Vietnam war, it lasted way too long Chorus: Vietnam war, a tragedy we can't ignore We thought we were fighting for freedom, but what for? The lives lost, the families torn apart The scars of war, they'll never depart Verse 3: Now we look back, with regret and shame The Vietnam war, it's a stain on our name We must learn from our mistakes, and never forget The cost of war, it's a price we can't reset Let's strive for peace, and work towards a better tomorrow So that the horrors of war, we'll never have to borrow The Vietnam war, it's a lesson for us all To stand up for what's right, and never let our leaders fall Chorus: Vietnam war, a tragedy we can't ignore We thought we were fighting for freedom, but what for? The lives lost, the families torn apart The scars of war, they'll never depart.
