Drink to Forget

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dropped right out of school that day Drafted by the mid of May They taught me how to obey Had no cash to get away Day to night, night to day Didn't have to be this way But every day I have to pay You asked me why, now I say [Chorus] They said it's kill or you'll be killed They said it's what I had to do They said it's kill or you'll be killed They said it's what I had to do They said it's kill or you'll be killed They said it's what I had to do Or in Vietnam I'd be one dead fool [Verse 2] I worked for the US war machine They paid me well to be so mean Now I pay, I can't forget Forever I will pay the debt Smell of bloodshed, hundreds dead Lovely women I shot dead Those sights and sounds Scream in my head [Chorus] Now I drink and drink some more Drink some more, drink some more Now I drink and drink some more I drink some more, I drink some more Now I drink, drink some more I drink some more, drink some more Now I drink to forget [Bridge] Every day the movie plays Again, again inside my brain 'Til I can't take it anymore Others laugh, but they don't know The pain I feel down to my soul [Chorus] I didn't know no better then Now each day I gotta I didn't know no better then Now each day I gotta I didn't know no better then Now each day I gotta Didn't know no better then I gotta drink to forget [Verse 3] I carry scars head to toe Feel the pain you'll never know Napalm and Agent Orange Are causing my slow death The sweetness of life Has turned bitter to taste The only friends I have left Is drink 'til I forget [Chorus] I killed and fought for Uncle Sam Now I kill my memories any way I can For the lives I took I pay the debt Everyday I drink to forget [Outro] I gotta drink to forget I gotta drink to forget Drink, drink to forget
