Annotation — Punk Songs
My Lai. Punk. Bristol, UK "Sent over to Vietnam to fight for Uncle Sam / Recruits looking for a thrill / Brainwashed daily to kill / My Lai Massacre / Those G.I.s went insane / Taking sick pleasure / Inflicting such pain / Ordered to kill Viet Cong / They knew the order were wrong / In Belson pits they were bound / Lined them up and shot them down / My Lai Massacre... / They tortured, raped, and killed / Taking sculps and souvenirs / Then their own men turned on them / And brought the slaughter to an end / My Lai Massacre... / Thirty years have come and gone / But the memory still lingers on / For the few who survived / That bloody brutal genocide / My Lai Massacre..."
