In 1965, Vietnam seemed like

Just another foreign war

But it wasn't, it was

Different in many ways

As so were those

Who did the fighting

In World War II

The average age of the

Combat soldier was twenty-six

In Vietnam, he was nineteen

In Vietnam, he was nineteen

In Vietnam, he was nineteen

In Vietnam, he was nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

The heaviest fighting

Of the past two weeks

Continued today twenty-five

Miles northwest of Saigon

I wasn't really sure

What was going on

N-n-n-n-nineteen, nineteen

N-nineteen, nineteen

In Vietnam, the combat soldier

Typically served a twelve month tour of duty

But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday

N-n-n-n-nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

In Saigon, a US miltary spokesman

Said today, more than 720 troops

Were killed last week in

That sensitive border area

In all of South Vietnam

The enemy lost a total of

2,689 soldiers

All those who remember the war

They won't forget what they've seen

Destruction of men in their prime

Whose average age was nineteen

D-d-d-d-d-destruction

D-d-d-d-d-destruction

According to a Veteran's Administration study

Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffer

From what psychiatrists call

Post-traumatic stress disorder

Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt

Some succumb to suicidal thoughts

Eight to ten years after coming home

Almost eight-hundred-thousand men

Are still fighting the Vietnam War

None of them received

A hero's welcome

S-s-s-s-s-Saigon

Nineteen, s-s-s-s-Saigon

N-n-n-n-n-nineteen
