Hearts and Minds

came out of Vietnam

did Hearts and Minds,

sounds good hey,

sounds good.

 

First,

you bomb shit out of them

and don't forget your napalm, for

nothing smells better

then burning flesh

on a slow sunday walk.

 

Now we can have a little local fun,

some artillery, just to soften them up,

a couple of Jolly Green Giants

gatling guns a blazing,

then our brave infantry boys can go in,

destroy the village with a

little rape and torture

just for spite and don't

forget that body count,

the numbers must add up.

 

Later

 

A week later

in go the tree huggers,

the medics

the hearts and minds brigade,

patching up wounds

mending breaks,

faces concerned, asking questions

taking notes, nodding gravely,

some food, lots of talk,

then they leave.

 

Later

 

A week later

it begins again,

a fucking joke

is Hearts and Minds.
