While we're sittin' home in our places
Stuffin' goodies in our faces
Bitchin' 'bout the television
news and the price of gasoline
Somewhere in Southeast Asia
And wondering what happened
He's a citizen of the free world
He's an American mother's son
He's a living contradiction,
He ain't got no Constitution,
and his Bill of Rights are gone
The war's been over for ten years now
And he still ain't made it home
If right is right and fair is fair
Tell me how, how can we leave him there?
If right is right and fair is fair
how can we leave him there?
why can't you stop and listen
To the disenchanted voices blowing
You put this mighty nation
You sold out to the Devil,
and the price was our young men
If it's trouble that we're fearing
I'm the first one volunteering
And I don't think nobody here
would hesitate to go to war
But in the cause of Freedom
But if we can't bring 'em back
Don't send 'em off no more
If right is right and fair is fair
Tell me how, how can we leave him there?
If right is right and fair is fair
Tell me how, how can we leave him
If right is right and fair is fair
Tell me how, how can we leave him there?
If right is right and fair is fair
how can we leave him there?
