I Came Back (I Know I Am Equal) - Vietnam, civil rights songs "I just got back from Vietnam And you better believe I served my time Some days 24 hours I was eating rice Always ducking and dodging trying to save my life Some days 24 hours I was pulling my trigger So lord help the man who calls me a fool Cause I came back, and I know that I'm equal" Vietnam War: Soul, Gospel, & Funk Songs
