Body Count lyrics

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)







All the young kids learn to dance in the combat zone

Never dared to take a chance

Goin home alone



But it gets so fucky cold

When its late at night



Leave the foxholes on their own

Do you sleep well at night?



Body count, feeling hot

Body count, keeping warm



Friends are playing with danger

They dont know where its found

With their casual letters

Its just another chain



Youve lost the innocence

That youve never found

Standing in the dmz

Dont get turned around



(chorus)

Body count, feeling hot

Body count, vietnam



Its not the game, its a scar

And they wont let you wear your khakis

And your izods anymore



You can go get shot to hell

They dont want you anymore because



All the young kids learn to dance in the combat zone

Never dare to take a chance

Youre going home alone

Military metaphors

Are metaphors no more



Keeping up with protocol

Youre dancin off to war



(repeat chorus)



Do you sleep well at night?



Body count, vietnam



They can say what they want

But you have your doubts



Its not what youve lost

Its what your without



When I ran so far

And they just turned away



I doesnt bother me by the light of day

But at night, I hear your call

Late at night, I hear your call



I saw the mirror that you broke today

I saw the ceiling falling down your way



When they looked at you, you could turn away

You didnt bother then by the light of day, youll stay



But at night, I hear your call

Late at night, I hear your call



You said that you could turn away

I knew that you going to stay



The walls are falling all around

They pinned you down onto the ground

But at night, I hear your call

Vietnam, I hear you call
