Cover art for Tommy lyrics by Portugal. The Man

I'm getting some Vietnam war vibes. I'm probably way off but "Now he's running through the jungle "yes sir!", Fingers cold and fire" and "Through August fall of ‘69, Jesus had birthed him, He spoke in guns through crippled sheets" kinda remind me of the vietnam war. Same thing with the boot lines.

I've no idea what the song is about or how that ties into it though :(

All that aside, It's a kick ass song!
