歌曲歌詞
Let me tell you the story
Of a soldier named Dan
Went out to fight the good
Fight in South Vietnam
Went out to fight for peace
Liberty and all
Went out to fight for equality
Hope let's go
And the war drags on
Found himself involved
In a sea of blood and bones
Millions without faces
Without hope and without homes
And the guns they grew louder
As they made dust out of bones
That the flesh had long since left
Just as the people left their homes
And the war drags on
They're just there to try
And make the people free
But the way that they're doing it
It don't seem like that to me
Just more blood-letting and misery and tears
That this poor country's known
For the last twenty years
And the war drags on
Last night poor Dan had
A nightmare it seems
One kept occurring and
Re-occurring in his dream:
Cities full of people burn
And scream and shoutin' loud
And right over head a great
Orange mushroom cloud
And there's no more war
For there's no more world
And the tears come streaming down
Yes I lie crying on the ground
