19 (Nineteen)
In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn't
It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19
In-in-in Vietnam he was 19
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn't sure what was going on
Ni-ni-ni 19, 19, 19, 19, 19
In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served
A twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Ni-ni-ni 19, Ni-ni-ni 19
In Saigon
A US military spokesman said today
More than 700 enemy troops were killed last week
In that sensitive border area
In all of South Vietnam
The enemy lost a total of 2, 689 soldiers
All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average was 19
De-de-destruction

De-de-destruction
According to a Veteran's Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what
Psychiatrists call
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to ten years after coming home
Almost eight hundred thousand men are still fighting the Vietnam War
None of them received
A hero's welcome
Nineteen, Saigon Saigon Saigon Saigon Saigon
19, Ni-nineteen 19, 19, 19, 19, 19

Vietnam, S S Saigon, Vietnam, S S Saigon
Vietnam, S S Saigon, Vietnam, S S Saigon
Purple Heart, Saigon, Purple Heart, S S Saigon
I wasn't really sure what was going on
I wasn't really sure what was going on
