Did cocaine pay the bill? They said wes fightin communists but it was kinda hard to tell There aint no fun in killin folk and I dont wanna do no more This was before Blackhawks and RPGs were king My buddy on the door gun, he never felt a thing When our Huey caught a rocket and both the pilots killed And it pitched us over sideways on some Nicaraguan hill My back felt like its broken, my legs I could not feel I kept on shooting Communists but it was kind of hard to tell There aint no fun in killin folk and I aint gonna do no more I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Germany, officially while we trained I remember all their faces, I dream about them still I guess wes fightin communists but it was kinda hard to tell There aint no fun in killin folk, and I dont wanna do no more I speak the cold logistic that warriors speak so well Foxtrot Tango Whiskey and Ill see you in hell A soldierly bravado, an unspeakable guilt That village, it was Communist but it was kinda hard to tell There aint no fun in killin folk and I dont wanna do no more Believe me, Ive done plenty boys, and I aint gonna do no more But of course if they back me in the corner theyll be dead before they hit the floor
