[Intro]

I don't know


[Verse 1]

Well, there's no charge for the haircut

And the bullets come free

My uncle Sam send a letter, said

Got a mission for me


[Verse 2]

Now, I'm a ranger not a stranger

And I live in Saigon

We've got a team of special forces

And we deliver napalm


[Refrain]

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind

Baby, it's not gone just a little hard to find

About the time this letter gets home

I'll be gone, gone, yeah gone

And if they tell you that I'm M.I.A (ow!)

Think a little less about me each day

Cause if I ever get back

I'll be shell shocked, whoa-oh

Shell shocked, yeah


[Guitar Solo]


[Refrain]

Feels funny riding in my car

Used to drive a tank and shoot a B.A.R

I know I'm home

But I feel gone, gone, yeah gone

Now it's over and the homeland's safe (ow!)

Got a purple heart to show the world I'm brave

The businessmen sat home

While I got shell shocked, (shell shocked)

Whoa (shell, shocked)

Shell shocked, (shell shocked)

Whoa, alright (shell, shocked)


[Outro]

Shell, shock (Shell shocked)

Shell shock (Shell, shocked)

Shell (Shell shocked, shell, shocked)

Shock


[Guitar Solo 2]
