Pinkville Helicopter

As they flew over Pinkville, the choppers could see
The slaughter going on down below them
And they radioed the dying of the women and kids
So the general headquarters would know them

Then one circled down to a place on the ground
Where there were children who were wounded or crying
And took them in the chopper to fly them out
So that they wouldn't be among the dying

They were on their way out, when below them they saw
A little two year old baby
So they went down again, and the pilot got out
Muttering that the world had gone crazy

The baby was cradled in the pilot's arms
Wounded and crying and bloodied
When Lieutenant came up and said "Put the kid down
Get your chopper on out of here, buddy"

The pilot looked down at the Lieutenant's gun
It was smoking hot from the killing
He said "If I have to give my life for this child
Then, by God, you know that I'm willin'"

Then the gunner who stood in the helicopter door
Called out to the lieutenant
Said "We're calling your bluff, there's been killing enough
If your gun starts war, mine will end it"

So they flew the kids out to the medics and said
War is hell, even babies get wounded
And the pilot just looked at his gunner and shook
Said to kill him is what was intended
The things that we've seen up in Pinkville today
Well, we won't even try to describe them
But this wasn't war, this was a pack of mad dogs
Just killing to see people dying

As they flew over Pinkville, the choppers could see
The slaughter going on down below them
And they radioed the dying of the women and kids
So the general headquarters would know them
