When I came back from Saigon
Everyone turned their head
No one put their hand out
No one shared their bread
I lost my wife, I lost my job, I lost my brother too
Blue collar kids got nothing to do with it
Nightmares of jungles and M-16's
Hippies give me shit in my army greens
Now I'm running the streets of Birmingham
25 years since Vietnam
Some pull jobs some pull scams
But I'm just doing the best I can
Well it's very hard to realize that there's no love no more
The day I got on the plane was the day that I left the war
Arrived in Heathrow on a red eye flight
Down Kellet road I scored for the night
I took the tube through London town
When I woke up I was on mid land ground
Running the streets of Birmingham
25 years since Vietnam
Some pull jobs and some pull scams
But I'm just doing the best I can.
Vietnam... Vietnam... Vietnam
The lyrics VIETNAM of LARS FREDERIKSEN & THE BASTARDS is also present in the album Lars frederiksen & the bastards (2001)
Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 2001 da Lars Frederiksen, chitarrista e cantante dei Rancid. Il progetto nasce come una sorta di outlet per l'artista, che con i Bastards esplora sonorità più punk rock e meno influenzate dal reggae e dall'ska tipici del sound dei Rancid. Frederiksen si avvale di un gruppo di musicisti provenienti dalla scena punk californiana, creando un suono potente e diretto, caratterizzato da riff aggressivi e testi che affrontano temi come la disillusione sociale, l'alienazione e la rabbia giovanile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo figurano "The Ballad of the Bastards", "I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend" e "California Dreamin'". Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto lo stesso successo dei Rancid, Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards hanno conquistato un seguito fedele tra gli appassionati di punk rock.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
