The 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 |
