Warren served his country well on a Vietnam detail He compromised his morals so he would not go to jail He traded in his blue jeans for the uniform they wear Then strapped a pistol to his side and let them cut his hair A college education was the privilege of a few But Warren was among them, so through the ranks he grew Until at last a captain stood proud before his men Democracy must kill a man if he will not be its friend But Warren had a conscience, disciplined and firm He never shot a woman when her back was turned And for the little children, the innocents of war He wept on two occasions for such service he performed Well, the jungle teemed with vermin and the women with despair For the bodies of the victims were piled up everywhere Though nearly unaffected he did succumb to that With chronic diarrhea and a couple times with clap But don't condemn poor Warren for the choice he had to make For years he'll bear the burden of the weight of that mistake At night he'll have recurring dreams of what had once transpired He'll smell the smoke and hear the blasts of the weapons he had fired For Warren in his sacrifice had lost the man inside His heroics unrewarded and his virtue exorcised His medals now outdated and his compromise ignored He is the new addition to their sacrificial war Though Warren served his country well on a Vietnam detail He compromised his morals so he would not go to jail He traded in his blue jeans for the uniform they wear Then strapped a pistol to his side and let them cut his hair
