In the emotional battlefield
He's fighting wars in his head
Ten long years in the Saigon swamps

Thinkin' he ought to be dead
He can still hear the gunfire
And screaming cries of death

I see red

I see red I see red


Mixed up dreams-- And crazy schemes
He had to join and go

He left his home in the New York State
To run to the battle zone


In the place of blood and guts
Glory is out of his reach-- I see red


I see red I see red

Diggin´ trenches into the ground

How can a man survive
Uniformed in an another man's blood
Not one of his friends is alive

He falls to his knees and prays to the sky
He asks the question why
I see red


I see red I see red (4x)
