I know a place
|
Where you're all going to go
|
They'll pay you to kill
|
If You're eighteen years old
|
First You'll need a haircut
|
And then some new clothes
|
They'll stick you in a jungle
|
To play G.I. Joe
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
You fight for democracy
|
And the "American Way"
|
But you're not in your country
|
"What am I doing here?" you say
|
But now it's too late
|
You're entering Managua
|
If you had brought your surfboard
|
You could surf Nicaragua
|
|
What is this we're fighting for
|
What's our ultimate goal
|
To force our ideas
|
Right down their throats
|
American Intervention
|
Grows Deeper Everyday
|
The situation worsens
|
More soldiers on the way
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
You fight for democracy
|
And the "American Way"
|
But you're not in your country
|
"What am I doing here?" you say
|
But now it's too late
|
You're entering Managua
|
If you had brought your surfboard
|
You could surf Nicaragua
|
|
Lessons we have learned
|
Are easy to forget
|
Hints of viet-nam
|
How soon we all forget
|
First we send advisors
|
And then go the troops
|
Another worthless conflict
|
Another Chance to lose
|
|
CHORUS:

You're entering Managua

If you had brought your surfboard
