Lyrics
SCREWED BOOED AND TATTOOED
We answered the call of our country
And went off one by one
No choice where we'd be going
Our orders were said and done
Most of us went to Vietnam
On a year long tour
Didn't know what we'd see and do
There's never be a cure
Nobody welcomed us home
Or thanked us for having served
We got caught up in a buzzsaw
We got screwed booed and tattooed
Suffered through every hardship
That war can do to a man
For those of us who made it through
Headed back with no set plan
All we wanted was to come home
Start a new life
But what we encountered
Was a nation mired in strife
CHORUS
They say all is fair in love and war
But the scorn we received was uncalled for
CHORUS
WE got screwed, we got booed and tattooed.
