Front Line (1982 Musiquarium Version) - Stevie Wonder[00:00:00]

I am a veteran of the war[00:00:22]

I up and joined the army back an 1964[00:00:27]

At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost[00:00:33]

I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off[00:00:38]

I recall a quote form a movie[00:00:44]

That said "Who's more a man[00:00:46]

Than a man with a reason[00:00:49]

That's worth dyin' for"[00:00:51]

They had me standing on the front line[00:00:54]

They had me standing on the front line[00:01:00]

They had me standing on the front line[00:01:05]

But now I stand at the back of the line[00:01:09]

When it comes to gettin' ahead[00:01:11]

They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill[00:01:16]

To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill[00:01:22]

They put a gun in my hand and said "Shoot until he's dead"[00:01:27]

But it's hard to kill when "Please I'm your friend"[00:01:32]

Echoes through your head[00:01:35]

Brought up in church[00:01:38]

Taught no man should take another's life[00:01:39]

But then put in the jungle[00:01:43]

Where life has no price no[00:01:45]

They had me standing on the front line[00:01:49]

They had me standing on the front line[00:01:54]

They had me standing on the front line[00:02:00]

But now I stand at the back of the line[00:02:04]

When it comes to gettin' ahead[00:02:06]

Back in the world the paper reads today[00:02:11]

Another war is in the brewing[00:02:16]

But what about the lives of yesterday[00:02:21]

And the many happy families that have been ruined[00:02:26]

My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too[00:02:32]

But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do[00:02:38]

They laugh and say "Quit braggin'[00:02:43]

'Bout the war you should have never been in"[00:02:45]

But my mind is so brain-washed[00:02:48]

I'd probably go back and do it again[00:02:50]

I walk the neighborhood parading my purple heart[00:02:54]

With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop no[00:02:59]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:05]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:10]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:16]

Now But I stand at the back of the line[00:03:19]

When it comes to gettin' ahead[00:03:22]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:27]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:32]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:38]

Now I stand at the back of the line[00:03:41]

When it comes to gettin' ahead[00:03:44]

Would you believe I do [00:03:46]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:48]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:54]

They had me standing on the front line[00:03:59]

But now I stand at the back of the line[00:04:03]

When it comes to gettin' ahead[00:04:05]
