LBJ's War Wasn't Just in Vietnam

Peter Hall
Lingua: Inglese




In the 1960's Australia got hit with purple rain
Australians were told to say "All the way with LBJ"
LBJ invited himself to this southern land
He caused our government to send our troops to Vietnam.

I was just a little boy -when a letter came in the mail
My dad said his conscription meant - the war could never fail
LBJ would care for him -and for this southern land
So he sailed from Sydney harbour to fight the battle of Long Tan...

In the main street of Sydney town the crowd protested loud
LBJ divided a land so young, so strong and proud
For Aussies were divided -for the first time in this land
Can you see LBJ's war wasn't just in Vietnam ?.

This summer of love was anything but – in the place they call down under
Our innocence and families LBJ did plunder
Every year on remembrance day I salute and shed a tear
For the orphans who cry out « No war », the president will hear.

Us orphans who cry out « No war », -we know- the president will hear.
