Lyrics
English: On the battlefield in Vietnam, we thank god for Uncle Sam / Far across the deep blue sea, fighting for a country / But on the battlefield in the USA, there's another... / Fighting now for him and me, they sing and hum... / But on the battlefield in Vietnam, here or there... / Looking for better days when the ? of peace come to stay
