[Verse 1]
Now hear me, all you victims, come listen, gather 'round
For now we'll tell the story of four brothers in the ground
One died from the bottle, though he wouldn't harm a fly
He froze in a South End alley behind a gin mill, left to die
And another died by the bullet at the hand's of a sniper's gun
In the valley of the Nha-Trang for a war we never won
[Chorus]
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
[Verse 2]
The next one took his life, they said there was never any hope
He was shocked and institutionalized, found hanging from a rope
And another son was shot again, but this time over drugs
There'll be no hero's welcome for this small time city thug
[Pre-Chorus]
One from the whiskey
One from the war
One by suicide
And another by the gun
[Chorus]
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
They took their lives, they took their sons
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
They took their lives, they took their sons
[Pre-Chorus]
One died from whiskey
And another in the war
One died by suicide
And the last one by the gun
[Chorus]
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
They took their lives, they took their sons
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
They took their lives, they took their sons
[Outro]
Whiskey, war, suicide and guns
