[Verse 1]
Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless
I'll never forget
The look upon their faces as I treated them with respect, and

[Chorus]
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs and I keep score

[Verse 2]
Momma was a lunatic (Yes)
She liked to push my buttons
She said I wasn't good enough, but I guess I wasn't tryin'
Never like school that much (School that much)
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearin' it because I thought I was already pretty clever, and

[Chorus]
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war (At war)
They keep on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
[Verse 3]
What do you expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for you to make me ok in your eyes?

[Chorus]
This is my Vietnam (This is my Vietnam)
I'm at war (At war)
They keep on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep score

[Outro]
This is my Vietnam
This is my Vietnam
