[bodytext] => More dead today because of a lie And tomorrow no doubt others But does it bring some sense To men who’d sell their mothers? The political animal is an ugly one It knows two things keep it aloof Talk tough even though you’re wrong And care less about the truth 'Act in haste, repent at leisure' And 'Remember Vietnam' Are two bits of better advice When stuck in such a jam How long they waited - so many years Before stemming the flow of blood They wouldn’t LISTEN over Vietnam And “knew better” 'till the flood Of brave young men returning home In body bags and worse Fifty thousand were sacrificed For what? A well worn curse: “Better dead than red” That and domino theory And look at Vietnam now It was egos fed that fury The same egos that still sit on high And act real tough and strong HOW many dead WILL it now take? To prove they're just plain WRONG?
