SOMETIMES IN THE JUNGLES OF VIETNAM THE STUFF WOULD REALLY HIT THE FAN AND YOU WOULD HEAR SOMEONE SAY, "IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN!", THEN SOMEONE ELSE WOULD SAY BACK, "IT DON'T MEAN A DAMN THING!" SOMETIMES THIS DENIAL OF REALITY WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT US FROM GOING COMPLETELY INSANE...


Time Bomb PTSD In My Mind
© 1990 Sarge Lintecum

People think we're crazy,
'Cause we made it back alive.
Well that really wasn't my fault,
The whole damn time I thought I'd die.

We'd be walkin' through the jungle
Always lookin' side to side.
We'd be lookin' hard for Charlie,
Prayin' like hell he'd run and hide.

Charlie had a secret weapon.
It's a time bomb in my mind.
I don't know how they could do it,
They drafted children down to nine . . .

So people think we're crazy,
Just 'cause we made it back alive.
You know that wasn't my fault,
The whole damn time, I thought I'd die.

Spare some change?
