Johnny Wright - Hello Vietnam (Full Metal Jacket)

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
Goodbye my sweetheart, Hello Vietnam.

America has heard the bugle call
And you know it involves us one and all
I don't suppose that war will ever end
There's fighting that will break us up again
Goodbye my darling, Hello Vietnam
A hill to take a battle to be won

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
Goodbye my sweetheart, Hello Vietnam.

A ship is waiting for us at the dock
America has trouble to be stopped
We must stop communism in that land
Or freedom will start slipping through our hands
Goodbye my darling...

I hope and pray someday the world will learn
That fires we don't put out will bigger burn
We must save freedom now at any cost
Or someday our own freedom will be lost

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
Goodbye my sweetheart, Hello Vietnam.

Full Metal Jacket is one of the best Vietnam movies ever made in my opinion.

Take it easy Jerry.

[FlamboyantChimp]

Does nobody understand how ironic this song is? It's challenging the perceived "necessity" of Vietnam. This song captures the ignorance of our conservative fathers who thought the world was our theatre for police.

Mr.Jerry Nealey,I agree wiht you defending yourself against someone that had no right whatsoever to disrespect you,as a person and as a patriot of your homeland,but its not right to add stereotypes,both in Spain and portugal Bulldighting is part of our hertiage since the monarchy,somwhat like you have bullriding in Texas ,so to end,Give the same respect you demand.

Cheers.
