Price Of Paradise |
How I remember the history I have seen |
I was just a young boy, the horror I couldnt forsee |
All the pain that comes with war |
All the scars that never heal |
Here in paradise the price is cheap |
Young men die for greed |
Across the ocean in a land they call Vietnam |
Young men dying is all it would cost |
We were told and proudly believed |
They would fight to keep us free |
Here in America the price is cheap |
Young men die for what? |
My brother, the soldier was a hero who survived |
He’d tell the stories of men who died without dreams |
And they fight for men twice their age |
The smell of death made his life change |
The price of paradise is stained with blood |
Why? |
All pawns and puppets of flesh and bone |
Will die for their leaders far from their homes |
These are men who died very young |
Afraid to see that their cause was unjust |
Why couldnt they live for life? |
Not die to survive |
