You welcomed me back
From World War II
I went overseas
And returned to you
I’m a veteran
For you I served
The women were fired
My job preserved
In every town
Both large and small
There was a parade
To honor us all
I’m a veteran
Of Viet Nam
I went to war
For Uncle Same
A baby killer
Is what you said
Innocent people
I wanted them dead
The war was wrong
Is what you claimed
Thousands of soldiers
Were killed and maimed
Many years later
Wars haven’t ended
Now I'm a hero
Who you once offended
