A young man eager young and strong
For Adventure joined the army
And like his dad who'd fought the Viet Cong
He would fight the Iraqis
My country right or wrong he said
And like a young John Wayne off he'd go
The Cavalry and bugle calls
A picture perfect Hollywood
Don't sleep at the Palestine Hotel
For there are friends there that will kill you
And Agent Orange Vietnam
Make me sing this song of blue
In april year two thousand two
Near Kandahar AFghanistan
Four young Canadians killed by friendly fire
Shed their blood in the dessert sand
You'd be proud about the preacher said mom
And now there shipping me back home
Eight buddy's of mine will carry me
In a casket cold as stone
In the old days it was just the same
Chief Sitting bull was on the roster
Rich man's war poor man's blood
When will humans ever learn
For Adventure joined the army
And like his dad who'd fought the Viet Cong
He would fight the Iraqis
My country right or wrong he said
And like a young John Wayne off he'd go
