Name: Nineteen
Duration: P00H04M51S
Description: Written in 1989 and re-composed with modified lyrics and new arrangement in 2020. Originally the lyrics were about the fate of soldiers at the age of 19 in the Vietnam War. Today, after dealing with our own parents’ past and in confrontation with our grown-up children, it’s obvious that every generation got its own burden they have to fight with and its own disease, that has to be cured.

lyrics

NINETEEN

You are nineteen, young and crazy
Born in nineteen forty nine
Fight Victor Charlie, a rolling thunder
(ready to die), holding the line

Life ain’t worth a nickel – out in the cold
Old enough to kill, too young to vote

You are nineteen, young and crazy
A cold war kid at the end of time
Fighting against insanity’n’inequity
(Arms races), political grime

Our world ain’t worth a nickel – ready to explode
Nuclear overkill – sold by Mr. Gold

You are nineteen, young and crazy
Living in virtuality
The ones who don’t know what to fight for
Wants to be killing machines

You are nineteen, young and crazy
World’s always the same
Your life’s a bullet, you have to fight with
No return if you miss the aim
Life ain’t worth a nickel – out in the cold
