Combat Shock

Agent Orange, bombs
Sanity is lost
Lost deep inside the war field
In a blood red Vietnam
Hand grenades explode, my rifle to reload
Firing, shooting, slaying
Aiming at my victim’s throat

Deaf because of pain, I’m gonna go insane
Can’t decide what’s right or wrong, firing again
They tell me to stop, to unload the gun
But everything’s too late
‘Cause now I’m shooting everyone
They tell me to leave,
Cut my hair and achieve
Something in my life, cause all they know is I’m a thief
They tell me to stop, to unload the gun
But that is too late
I’m shooting everyone

[Pre-Chorus: ]
Fire in the hole
‘Cause Frankie is gone insane
And he’s out of control
Combat shock is coming
And no one will escape

[Chorus:]
Combat shock
The fight has begun
After the war and the work that I’ve done
Combat shock
The work as a man
Who was put in danger in Vietnam
Combat shock
A stranger back home
Feel so guilty, feel so alone
Combat shock
Eternal war in my head
‘Til I’m dead

So you were brave enough to die
Made a thousand families cry
And now you’re coming back to yours
Although you’re wondering why
Your baby; a deformed thing
No job, no life
Nothing will be the same
It’s all connected with gore

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)
