Lyrics

He walked on down the road 6 pack in hand
street name of Vino he's a Vietnam man
Teardrop and Hawkeye are some of his kind
living in the city walls but outside the lines

oh... don't you know it's a cold war out there
when nobody wants to know and nobody knows to care

now me and a friend of mine walked out the door
tired of the regular life we tried our luck in the war
on the streets of Reno Vino gave us a place
he set the standard though he couldn't hold the pace

oh... don't you know it's a cold walk out there
when nobody wants to know and nobody knows to care

i found that regular life has angles and ghosts
and the dark humour of god is what i love most
shades of black and white thats all color is
yeah the war may have changed his life but the dream's still his

oh... don't you know it's a cold war out there
when nobody wants to know and nobody knows to care

and the cold arms surround the nature of this town
and if you can hear the laughter than you know what its about
if you can see the armies working for our needs
settle down son put down the gun
you don't need to preach to me
