Poor Billy received his new on a Sunday Woken by his mother and she had just this to say My son please return to me safe and ok you only turned 18 five months ago this may Into the chopper his soul climbed aboard Dressed up all in green with the cross of the lord He will soon be revealed to this violence and sin Brought by his country to protect and to defend He looked to the sky and pictured it way back when Will I return the same boy or a man without friends (Chorus) Lead into those trees The ones that stood oh so tall We gave the government our fees And Mr. Nixon took it all To pay off all the plumbers that broke right through that wall Well that was then and this is now Together as we fall Now this boy comes back just looking to the crowd Who once was his friend but now is not allowed To be with all the killers in society today Given off this feeling Billy was betrayed Crying to his mother just like he had done before Forced to see the bed that left behind the door Pushed to shoot, shoot aim and kill It was burned into his mind and soon it was a thrill Now this boy comes back reaching to his chest Looking for the love of god that he had put to rest Now I lay myself down to sleep I shall pray the lord to myself to keep And if I die before I wake I wish I could give back all the souls I had to take Please set me free On free to live this place This manhood? That was given underneath those trees, those trees.
