Dean Wareham - Why Are We in Vietnam?

Why are we in Tripoli?
Why are we in Baghdad?
Why am I stuck in Echo Park
Writing songs in DADGAD
I know I know I know the rule
I’m just another molecule
I’m not supposed to sing the song
I must doing something wrong

They don’t know the score
Or what we’re fighting for
They don’t like us any more

Why are we in Vietnam?
Why are we in Norway?
Why are we in Fiddler’s Green?
Why must we do it your way?

Why are we in Beverly Hills?
Why are we at Hooters?
Why are we in Echo Park?
We need to stop the looters

Why are we in Vietnam,
Pine Gap and Guantanamo?
Why are we in the UAE?
Why are we in the South China Sea?
