19 Cryogenic Freeze Remix

The kid was only nineteen
The kid was only nineteen
Good evening
The heaviest fighting of the past two weeks continued today
Twenty-five miles northwest of Saigon
Saigon (Saigon, Saigon, Saigon, Saigon)
Saigon (Saigon, Saigon, Saigon, Saigon)
I wasn't really sure what was going on
Nineteen
The kid was only nineteen
Nineteen
The kid was only nineteen
Nineteen
Nineteen
Nineteen
Nineteen
In Vietnam, the combat soldier typically
Served a twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost every day of his tour
Nineteen
Nineteen
The kid was only nineteen
Post-traumatic stress disorder
This is one legacy of the Vietnam War
You're eighteen years old and you're wearing
Somebody's brains around on your shirt
Because they got their head blown off right next to you
And that's not supposed to affect you?
Many vets complain of alienation, rage or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
The kid was only nineteen
This is one legacy of the Vietnam War
One legacy
The kid was only nineteen
Nineteen
The kid was only nineteen
Nineteen
Nineteen
The kid was only nineteen
