Steppenwolf - Rock 'N' Roll War Lyrics
He was barely a man that morning when he got on that planeIn his pocket some music and pictures of homeA few days later he's lying in the jungle, beneath the pouring rainListening to songs of freedom, feeling scared and aloneCan anybody tell me why I'm here, where's the rhyme where's the reasonIt's all so crazy, it's madness over here, just who are we fighting forThe guys back home, they're feelin' no pain, yeah, they're living and lovin'While we are flyin', dancin' and dyin' in this rock 'n roll war.Everything looked the same that morning, when he came home againIn his baggage some medals and memories of warBut he was different, changed forever and out of touch with timeWalking the streets of home, he felt lost and aloneCan anybody tell me where I am, I feel like a strangerSome call me hero, some have called me names, some don't call anymoreI made it home, but I'm still in pain, I'm not livin' or lovin'For I'm still flyin', fightin' and dyin' in that Rock n' Roll warTell everybody I feelin' better, It's been slow but I'm healingThrough mother earth and father time, I don't hurt like beforeI love a good woman, we have a son, he's our joy, our salvationMay he never fly in, fight in or die in some rock 'n roll warTell everybody I'm doin' all right, yes, I'm livin' and lovin'For I'm done flyin', livin' and dyin' in that rock n' roll war.
