[ Featuring Steel ]
He would arrive at half past four
He took the garbage beside my door
He said I can't talk of it anymore
In my mind, there is always war
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he's gone, he's not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
He carried the bags in his hands
Filled with bodies from the jungle land
He called at night, said do you understand?
What could I say to the burning lamb?
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he's gone, he's not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
He's not gonna be on the next train
He's not gonna come in from the pouring rain
He's not gonna give his kind regards
It's really, really too hard
He came home no one cared
He had a face crippled by wear
Memories of those lads placed on his back
All that weight too much to ask
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he's gone, he's not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
