Lyrics
English: "I killed a son in front of his father / Beginning this absolute slaughter / The captain said "shoot the enemy" / The captain said "show no empathy" / The captain said "go fire away" / The captain said /Gangraping women, burying their infants / Burning their village, earased from existence / The captain said "shoot the enemy" / The captain said "show no empathy" / The captain said "go fire away"/ The captain said "welcome to My Lai" / What have I done / I question myself / Massacred hundreds / For the red, white and blue / Blood soils the earth, the bodies have bled / Corpses in ditches, hundreds lay dead / The captain said "shoot the enemy" / The captain said "show no empathy" / The captain said "go fire away" / The captain said "welcome to My Lai"
