Uncle Sam, I'm in Vietnam
Давно не было такого, чтобы услышанная песня заставила меня достать из кофра гитару. Кстати, она из отличного фильма The Boys in Company C (1978, торрент), снятого за девять лет до "Взвода" и "Цельнометаллической оболочки", но тоже с Ли Эрмеем. Песню написал актёр Крэйг Уэссон, который её и поёт в фильме.
Uncle Sam, I'm in Vietnam,
It's a jungle, it's a prison.
But here I am,
Dreaming of the outside
And freedom, planning my get away.
Far away from this one ship bay,
In the south-east tip of Asia.
Where I lay,
Dreaming of the outside
And freedom, planning my getaway.
Weapon drawn I got my wet gear on,
I'm crawling on my belly
Near Khe Sahn
Dreaming of the outside
And freedom, planning my getaway.
But there is a guard on the inside
With a rifle in hand,
And a guard on the outside
Buying up government land.
Betsy Anne, tell me once again
You will be there when it's over.
Here I am,
Here I am...
