Get Some!

Prelude

Rain starts falling, monsoon haze

Mud on my helmet, counting the days

Choppers in distance, sound so near

Breath held tight with a twinge of fear

Intro

Roar of the engines, boots hit the sand

Smoke on the air, falling on this land

Painted faces, hope in their packs

Letters unopened, no turning back

Verse 0

Night drops heavy, sweat in my eyes

A hush on the river, the silence belies

How long since laughter? No time to recall

Sent home in fragments, some never at all

Verse 1

Hueys above us, cutting the dawn

Sweat on my rifle, another soldier gone

Green lizards crawling, fire ants bite

Waiting for orders, hearts clench tight

Pre-Chorus

Eyes scanning shadows in the trees

Searching for peace that never leaves

Chorus

Get some! (get some!)

Thunder in the jungle, can't run

Get some! (get some!)

Fire on the hillside, no sun

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, get some! Oh oh, get some!

Verse 2

Helmets and dog tags, mud in our boots

Letters from home, cassette radio tunes

Red smoke rising, buzzing flies

Hearts run wild as the daylight dies

Pre-Chorus

Count the days with a shaky hand

Home feels so far from this land

Chorus

Get some! (get some!)

Thunder in the jungle, can't run

Get some! (get some!)

Fire on the hillside, no sun

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, get some! Oh oh, get some!

Bridge

Wind whips around us, faces of stone

Echoes of names carved into bone

Brothers beside me, dreams interrupted

Nothing ahead but a sky corrupted

Chorus

Get some! (get some!)

Thunder in the jungle, can't run

Get some! (get some!)

Fire on the hillside, no sun

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, get some! Oh oh, get some!

Outro

Gunpowder morning, rolled cigarette

Sunrise betrays what we can't forget

Thunder rolls distant, never the same

Worn-out faces, no one to blame

Chorus

Get some! (get some!)

Thunder in the jungle, can't run

Get some! (get some!)

Fire on the hillside, no sun

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, get some! Oh oh, get some!
