I Should Be Proud (应该骄傲) - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas[00:00:00]

I was under the dryer when the telegram came[00:00:03]

Private john c miller was shot down in vietnam[00:00:09]

Through my tears i read no more information at this time[00:00:14]

He's missin' in action somewhere on the delta line[00:00:19]

And they say that i should be proud he was fightin' for me[00:00:24]

They say that i should be proud those too blind to see[00:00:29]

But he wasn't fightin' for me my johnny didn't have to fight for me[00:00:35]

He was fightin' for the evils of society[00:00:41]

Now i prayed night & day that my johnny wouldn't die love[00:00:45]

Faith & hope was all that kept me alive[00:00:52]

Then 6 weeks later came that cold & heartless letter[00:00:58]

Private johnny was killed in action number 54327[00:01:02]

And they say that i should be proud[00:01:07]

He was keepin' me free[00:01:11]

They say that i should be proud[00:01:13]

Those too blind to see[00:01:16]

But he wasn't fightin' for me[00:01:18]

My johnny didn't have to die for me[00:01:21]

He was fightin' for the evils of society[00:01:24]

They shipped him home with medals of honor & glory[00:01:52]

Even our local paper ran a front-page story[00:01:57]

But the whole time gave him praisin' & said how honored i should be[00:02:02]

But i don't want no superstar just the good man they took from me[00:02:07]

And they tell me i should be proud[00:02:12]

He was fightin' for me[00:02:16]

They say that i should be proud[00:02:18]

Those too blind to see[00:02:21]

But he wasn't fightin' for me[00:02:23]

My johnny didn't have to die for me[00:02:26]

He's a victim of the evils of society[00:02:29]

I should be proud of my johnny[00:02:34]

They tell me that i should be proud[00:02:39]

They just don't want johnny for me[00:02:42]

They tell me that i should be proud of my johnny[00:02:45]
