Thirty-Three Dollars 가사

Bargain day in the battle zone, Thirty three dollars for a human soul Here is the biggest bargain yet To pay for the life of an innocent Viet. What kind of scale do they use to weigh How much money they have to pay, The worth of a father to his wife and sons, The worth of a mother to her little ones. Some military brain went about To set the computer that worked it out, The worth of a father to his wife and sons, The worth of a mother to her little ones. Bombs can't figure what they kill But the war department will pay the bill-- A hundred grand for a dead V.C. But civilians come at a bargain fee. The things we've done to that peasant land Are hard for a person to understand But this one item tells the tale On how we reckon and what the scale. Millions of dollars for tanks and planes For ammo trucks and ammo trains Billions to make the war wheels roll To keep one monster in control-- But thirty three dollars for a human soul.
