Body Count

Lyrics

All the young kids learn to dance in the combat zone
 Never dared to take a chance
 Goin' home alone
 But it gets so fucky cold
 When it's late at night
 Leave the foxholes on their own
 Do you sleep well at night?
 Body count, feeling hot
 Body count, keeping warm
 Friends are playing with danger
 They don't know where it's found
 With their casual letters
 It's just another chain
 You've lost the innocence
 That you've never found
 Standing in the dmz
 Don't get turned around
 (chorus)
 Body count, feeling hot
 Body count, vietnam
 It's not the game, it's a scar
 And they won't let you wear your khakis
 And your izods anymore
 You can go get shot to hell
 They don't want you anymore because
 All the young kids learn to dance in the combat zone
 Never dare to take a chance
 You're going home alone
 Military metaphors
 Are metaphors no more
 Keeping up with protocol
 You're dancin' off to war
 (repeat chorus)
 Do you sleep well at night?
 Body count, vietnam
 They can say what they want
 But you have your doubts
 It's not what you've lost
 It's what your without
 When I ran so far
 And they just turned away
 I doesn't bother me by the light of day
 But at night, I hear your call
 Late at night, I hear your call
 I saw the mirror that you broke today
 I saw the ceiling falling down your way
 When they looked at you, you could turn away
 You didn't bother then by the light of day, you'll stay
 But at night, I hear your call
 Late at night, I hear your call
 You said that you could turn away
 I knew that you going to stay
 The walls are falling all around
 They pinned you down onto the ground
 But at night, I hear your call
 Vietnam, I hear you call
