So I offer you prison, or Vietnam. You know Charlie, he’s kinda crazy He just stood there looked at me, Looked at the judge, straight in the eyes Said I’d love to fight your honor And you know I’ve got nothing to lose So send me off to war, I don’t mind. He spent two years Learning weapons of death And a year in the jungle Like an animal where it's kill or be killed And the right amount of heroin Really seems the quiet the bombs Back in Pittsburgh, things are rather calm Now Charlie, he is my friend Taught me how to hold my head up Told me soon that I’d be a man Says that Agent Orange is calling And the doctors have done all they can Well Charlie, I’m gonna miss you after you’re gone Well Charlie, I’m gonna miss you after you’re gone Well Charlie, I’m gonna miss you after you’re gone
