Don't Mean Nothin'

This is what happens when you combine a late night with Vietnam movies...

They said we're fightin' for somethin' here
But I guess i can't see through this smoke
Smoke from bombs smoke from guns
Smoke from the last of the dope
They said someday we'd all go home
But all I've seen are body bags
My friend got shot my buddy stabbed
Another one got fragged

Heard a rumor from Private Brown
Just back in from the states
He says the folk we're fightin' for
Don't show us love just hate
He says his friends disowned him now
One even spit in his face
He said he'd rather die over here
Than an old vet in the states

Got a letter from my girl
She says she's leaving me
She says there is another man
Who ain't a soldier like me
I hope one day when this is done
And our fighting here is through
I'll understand why we all died
To save a wretch like you

Yeah, some of the grammar stuff was to add to the effect

Wow so sorry about your girl leaving you for another,
Least you tried to make this woman happy least I presume.
Powerful write.
