Annotation
Dance Gavin Dance, a Post-Hardcore group formed in 2005 in Sacramento, California, USA. The song "The Robot vs. Heroin Battle of Vietnam" (Rise Records # RISE044), as suggested from the title, may be a reference to the use of drugs, specifically heroin, in the Vietnam War, although the lyrics are not clear-cut.

Lyrics
English: Parts of victims organs / They will give you better style / Attach the plate mail to your insides / Blistered by the fire / (Keep your victims confined) / Caught in the threshold / (To meager rations) / Man the armory / (Rations) / Dressed in our / (Those in your basement) / Last attire castle walls / (Keep them confined to meager rations) / Falling down around us all / (To meager rations) / And then when you go to sleep / (I stashed the plate mail under the file cabinet) / I hope you wake up knowing / I stashed the plate mail under the file cabinet... / That you were meant for all of this... / First, take time to breathe, you don't need me / (We can't go wrong) / You don't need anything / It's a wonder / (Just hand me the best tongs) / (We can't go wrong) / How we're all under attack from everything always / (We can't go wrong now) / And I'm willing to die to save your life...
