19 Nua Remix

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen
The average age was nineteen
The average age was nineteen
History keeps repeating itself

This is a story of men who are victims of war
They fought the longest war in American history
They all saw heavy combat in Vietnam
(What's going on?)
None of them received a hero's welcome
(Oh, what's going on?)

In 1965, Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war
But it wasn't
It was different in many ways
And so were those who did the fighting
(Right on, right on, right on)
In World War II, the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam, he was 19

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
(The average age was nineteen)
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
Oh, what's going on?
What's going on?
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, what's going on?

Right on, baby
Right on, baby
What's going on? (Victims of war)
What's going on? (The average age was nineteen)
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, what's going on?
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen
Right on, right on, right on

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
(The average age was nineteen)

Oh, what's going on? (I wasn't really sure what was going on)
What's going on?
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, what's going on?
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
(The average age was nineteen, nineteen)
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen
