Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, 19
The average age was 19
The average age was 19
History keeps repeating itself
This is the story of men who are victims of war
They fought the longest war in American history
They all saw heavy combat in Vietnam (what's going on?)
None of them received a hero's welcome (oh, what's going on?)
In 1965, Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war, but it wasn't
It was different in many ways, and so were those who did the fighting (right on)
(Right on, right on) in World War II, the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam, he was 19
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you died
(The average age was 19)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, 19)
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today
Yeah
Father, father
(Father, ah) we don't need to escalate
This is war, it's not the answer
For all in love and all the hate
Oh, what's going on?
What's going on?
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, what's going on?
Woo, right on baby
Right on baby
What's going on? (Victims of war)
What's going on? (The average age was 19)
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, what's going on?
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, 19
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, 19
Right on
Right on (right on)
Mama, mama there's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying (the average age was 19)
Oh, what's going on? (I wasn't really sure what was going on)
What's going on?
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, what's going on?
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you to die (the average age was 19, 19)
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, 19
History keeps repeating itself
