The Vietnam War

Introduction: (Full Metal Jacket)Marines: [chanting] This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.Song: "Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story" by Jedi Mind Tricks featuring R.A. the Rugged Man[Verse 1 - Vinnie Paz]I don't know why I'm over here this job is evilThey send there to Vietnam to kill innocent peopleMy mother wrote me said the President he doesn't careWe trying to leave the footprints of America hereThey say we're trying to stop Chinese expansionBut I ain't seen no Chinese since we landedSent my whole entire unit thinking we can winAgainst the Viet Cong guerillas there in Gia DinhI didn't sign up to kill women or any childrenFor every enemy soldier, we killing six civiliansYeah, and that ain't right to meI ain't got enough of mother f*****' fight in meIt frightens me and I just want to see my son and momsBut over here they dropping seven million tons of bombsI spend my days dodging all these booby traps and minesAnd at night, praying to God that I get back aliveAnd I'm forced to sit back and wonderWhy I was a part of 'Operation Rolling Thunder'In a fox hole with nine months left hereJungle like the f*****' harbinger of death here[Interlude](soldier speaking)I don't want to be here.
