Subject: RE: BS: broken token in Vietnam
here are the lyrics..or maybe it isn't a song..maybe it is in the liner notes or something..

"Short" by bruce Weigl from "songs of Napalm

There's a bar girl on Trung Hung Do who has half a ten-piaster note I tore in my drunken relief to be leaving the country. She has half and i have half, if I can find it. If I lost it,it wasn't on purpose, it's all I have to remember her. she has a wet sheet, a PX fan, PX radio, and half a ten-pisater note, as if she cared to remember me. She thought it was stupid to tear money and when I handed it to her she turned to another soldier, new in country, who needed a girl.I hope I burn in hell.
