"Combat Shock" - agent orange, PTSD
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: "Agent Orange, bombs / Sanity is lost / Lost deep inside the war field / In a blood red Vietnam / Hand grenades explode, my rifle to reload / Firing, shooting, slaying / Aiming at my victim’s throat / Deaf because of pain, I’m gonna go insane / Can’t decide what’s right or wrong, firing again / They tell me to stop, to unload the gun / But everything’s too late / ‘Cause now I’m shooting everyone / They tell me to leave / Cut my hair and achieve / Something in my life, cause all they know is I’m a thief / They tell me to stop, to unload the gun / But that is too late / I’m shooting everyone / Fire in the hole / ‘Cause Frankie is gone insane / And he’s out of control / Combat shock is coming / And no one will escape / Combat shock / The fight has begun / After the war and the work that I’ve done / Combat shock / The work as a man / Who was put in danger in Vietnam / Combat shock / A stranger back home / Feel so guilty, feel so alone / Combat shock / Eternal war in my head / ‘Til I’m dead / So you were brave enough to die / Made a thousand families cry / And now you’re coming back to yours / Although you’re wondering why / Your baby; a deformed thing / No job, no life / Nothing will be the same / It’s all connected with gore"
