Elegant Vietnam - Time

Oh what elegance in Vietnam they bombed the elephants

Guns shots sound like scatting from Ella Fitz

Louie’s blowing his bugle

Its wake up time for the army ants

I would be sad if all this was real

I’m smiling cause this life is temporary

And so fantastic

I don’t know what I’ve been told

In fantastic you never grow old

I don’t know what I’ve been told

When I die I keep my soul

I don’t know what I’ve been told

In fantastic there is no war

I don’t know what I’ve been told

In fantastic nobodies poor

This is for general Walter E. Kurtz

Agent orange, dead trees, kids with guns and vets that are rich
