1
On a late Tuesday afternoon
2
The sun shone grey in the Massachusetts sky
3
Red walked into his living room
4
Found his mother with a tear in her eye
5
Times have changed, or so it seemed
6
Boys became men at the age of seventeen
7
Red was one of those, oh you know
8
What choice did they have other than to go?
9
So they went one by one
10
They found no comfort from that Vietnam sun
11
They wiped the sweat and blood from their face
12
And all they wondered when to find their saving grace
13
Each and every day you know they watched their brothers fall
14
They drink heavy at night and try to forget it all
15
Didn't know if they would rather be alive or dead?
16
Oh this is the story of a man named Red
17
Telling tales of darkness
18
No legless man is harmless
19
Heartlessly described by a gun
20
Oh I can smell the gunpowder
21
The quiet cries getting louder
22
All this pain echoes in his head
23
This is the story of a man named Red
24
He walks the streets alone now
25
He can't quite understand how
26
He was the one to make it home
27
He came out just as he went in
28
Oh no, no, no if you could only see within
29
He lies awake and looks at his wife
30
Motionless and helpless
31
She has never felt this so but she knows what it's like
32
Living with these emotions each and every day
33
he still hears the orders calling calling, "Fire away!"
34
Yeah, yeah, no..
35
Taken by the government yeah, no
36
One by one they went
37
But they didnt come back
38
Well I'm telling tales of darkness
39
No legless man is harmless
40
Heartlessly described by a gun
41
Oh I can smell the gunpowder
42
The quiet cries getting louder
43
All this pain echoes in his head
44
This is the story of a man named Red
45
The story of a man named Red
46
Well they couldn't have resisted
47
I guess the government insisted, yea
48
That their new best friends, oh that their new friends
49
Should die in their arms, die in their arms, yea
50
Oh no
