Yes pretty self-explanatory a man who comes back from the Vietnam war and goes crazy. By the way the one who said that Trey is the best guitarist of all time is insane, just run a few names by you - Jimi Hendrix, Dave Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page That'll do, there are loads more. But yeah good song, good band, self-explanatory too win-win

This song is about a guy that comes back from Vietnam. He does drugs and stuff because he can't cope with the world after the war.

For anyone else (as I was before wondering) Agent Orange was the thick green slimy substance that was sprayed one the trees and ground in Vietnam to make them stop growing.

This song is pretty straightforward, though I find it funny that you can surmise the character's name is "Billy Graham." Isn't he that evangelical guy?

This a sad song. But definitely my favorite by Oysterhead. Great mix. The best drummer of all time, the best bass player of all time, and a pretty good guitarist.
