First Blood Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mail-ordered body armor
Map to the Blue Bucket Mine
Guy who had a place down by the lakeside
Changing water to wine

[Chorus 1]
Devastating schematics
Rough drafts of the 23rd Psalm
Paul Kersey never left his apartment
John Rambo never went to Vietnam

[Chorus 2]
Out in the cul-de-sacs at midnight
Where the candy for the cannons comes from
I heard Buford Pusser was dirty

Or go to sleep for good in the trenches?
Dug in beneath a brilliant blue sky
Helmets hanging high in the branches

[Chorus 3]
Empty vessels by the dozens
Diamonds in the sun
We worship nothing in the foxholes
John Rambo never went to Vietnam

[Refrain]
John Rambo never went to Vietnam
