Drink to Forget Lyrics by MDC

Now More Than Ever

0

[Verse 1]
Dropped right out of school that day
Drafted by the mid of May
They taught me how to obey
Had no cash to get away
Day to night, night to day
Didn't have to be this way
But every day I have to pay
You asked me why, now I say
[Chorus]
They said it's kill or you'll be killed
They said it's what I had to do
They said it's kill or you'll be killed
They said it's what I had to do
They said it's kill or you'll be killed
They said it's what I had to do
Or in Vietnam I'd be one dead fool
[Verse 2]
I worked for the US war machine
They paid me well to be so mean
Now I pay, I can't forget
Forever I will pay the debt
Smell of bloodshed, hundreds dead
Lovely women I shot dead
Those sights and sounds
Scream in my head
[Chorus]
Now I drink and drink some more
Drink some more, drink some more
Now I drink and drink some more
I drink some more, I drink some more
Now I drink, drink some more
I drink some more, drink some more
Now I drink to forget
[Bridge]
Every day the movie plays
Again, again inside my brain
'Til I can't take it anymore
Others laugh, but they don't know
The pain I feel down to my soul
[Chorus]
I didn't know no better then
Now each day I gotta
I didn't know no better then
Now each day I gotta
I didn't know no better then
Now each day I gotta
Didn't know no better then
I gotta drink to forget
[Verse 3]
I carry scars head to toe
Feel the pain you'll never know
Napalm and Agent Orange
Are causing my slow death
The sweetness of life
Has turned bitter to taste
The only friends I have left
Is drink 'til I forget
[Chorus]
I killed and fought for Uncle Sam
Now I kill my memories any way I can
For the lives I took
I pay the debt
Everyday I drink to forget
[Outro]
I gotta drink to forget
I gotta drink to forget
Drink, drink to forget
