vietnam - zak resnick lyrics

way, back in the day
my pa would say
what did you learn today at school?
stick with it and you’ll be okay
and well hey when i was your age
we already knew what we were born to do
there was no time for play
he taught me how to hold a toy gun
i pointed it at everyone
he’d tell me of his former glory
everyday the same old story
lets play vietnam
before your mom
comes out here and sees
her two men at it again
you’ll understand one day
cause she don’t like war
and she don’t like guns
she expects much more from you my son
so don’t ever let her catch you with these
even if it’s only play
dad would always say
those were the days keeping the bad guys at bay
in 1964
i was just a kid and i didn’t understand
what it meant to be part of the marine corps
he taught me how to shoot a real gun
i remember thinking this thing weighs a ton
and we take a hunting trip every year
and dad would say lets play the game with the deer
lets play vietnam and bring your mom some grade a game
find the weakest spot and take your shot
you’ll understand one day
because life’s a war and we’ve got our
guns and there will be more for you my son
and after you will never be the same
even if it feels like play
and the history books don’t tell the stories like dad did
i didn’t get a thing when they return
but i still listen to the stories dad would tell
i gave him the honor he had earned
i don’t think he ever forgot those things he did
which is why he was so scared to send his kid
lets play vietnam, but don’t tell your mom
and make sure she doesn’t see
i’ll teach you how to fight and you’ll be alright
you’ll understand one day
cause i don’t like war and i don’t like guns
and i want much more for you my son
but you need to be as prepared as you can be
even though
its only play
