Come on boy now, don’t you know
It’s time you met your Uncle Sam
Tell me son now, have you heard
Of a place called Vietnam

Look alive boy, stand up straight
We’ll strap you to an M16
Liberty herself could fall
If you’re not there to stand between

‘Cause there’s a red moon running like a
Knife blade cutting down lines between good and guilty
If the stars aren’t falling tonight
Then it’s just a matter of time… ‘til they will be

Learn it quick - this enemy
Don’t play the way your daddy learned
If war’s a game, we’re the fools
Calling rules while the table burns

Make no mistake - the boys up north
Ain’t fighting just to fly some flag
Twenty years and counting they’ve been
Dying to win their freedom back

‘Cause there’s a red moon running like a
Knife blade cutting down lines between good and guilty
If the stars aren’t falling tonight
Then it’s just a matter of time… ‘til they will be

The jungle humming in your blood
‘Til fight or flight’s the only law
No rocket’s glare to light your way
Now who’s to say where the crosshairs fall

‘Cause there’s a red moon running like a
Knife blade cutting down lines between good and guilty
If the stars aren’t falling tonight
Then it’s just a matter of time…
