Daddy was a soldier,
He taught me about freedom,
Peace and all the great things,
That we can take advantage of.
Once I fed the homeless
I´ll never forget
The look upon their faces as I
Treated them with respect
CHORUS
This is my Vietnam
I´m at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score
Mama was a lunatic
She liked to push my buttons
She said I wasn´t good enough
But I guess I wasn´t trying
Never liked school that much
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn´t hearing it
Because I thought I was already pretty clever
Repeat CHORUS (x 2)
What do you expect from me
What am I not giving you
What could I do for you
To make me okay in your eyes
Chorus: This is my vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on droppin bombs
And i keep scoreI'm on a sentimental journey
into sight and sound
of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the
war that's in my mind
leaving in the lurch and I'm
taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
in the destination unknown
an expedition
in the desolation road
(where I'm a...)
Chorus
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway
I'm riding on a night train and
driving stolen cars
testing my nerves out on the blv.
spontaneous combustion on the
corners of my mind
leaving in the lurch
and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
in the destination unknown
an expedition
in the desolation road
(where I'm a...)
Chorus
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway
I'm on a sentimental journey
into sight and sound
of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the
war that's in my mind
leaving in the lurch and I'm
taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
in the destination unknown
an expedition
in the desolation road
(where I'm a...)
Chorus
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway
