I got out of school and I was feeling kinda down, | |
I thought I'd join the Army just to take a look around. | |
I went on down to the recruiter man | |
And that's when all my troubles began. | |
Well, I've been up, down and around | |
This country more than a couple of times, | |
But I never knew until I got into the Army | |
That thinking for yourself was a crime. | |
Get over here, stand over there, | |
Let's see your identification. | |
Shut your mouth, son, get back in line, | |
We're sending you to South East Asia. | |
Well, they gave me some shoes that hurt my feet | |
They gave me some food not fit to eat, | |
They told me that I wasn't fighting alone, | |
They sent me to Saigon and they stayed home. | |
Well, I've been up, down and around | |
This country more than a couple of times, | |
But I never knew until I got into the Army | |
That thinking for yourself was a crime. | |
Get over here, stand over there, | |
Let's see your identification. | |
Shut your mouth, son, get back in line, | |
We're sending you to South East Asia. | |
All right. | |
One, two, three, four, | |
We don't want your fuckin' war, | |
A, B, C, D, | |
Get someone else, hey don't get me, | |
Left, right, left, right, | |
You know the whole damn thing puts me uptight. | |
I done my duty and I fought my fight | |
And I thought I knew I was doing right, | |
But that's all over, I'm free at last, | |
An' if they want any more, they can kiss my ass. | |
'Cause I've been up and down and around | |
This country more than a couple of times, | |
But I never knew until I got into the Army | |
That thinking for yourself was a crime. | |
Get over here, stand over there, | |
Let's see your identification. | |
Shut your mouth, son, get back in line, | |
We're sending you to South East Asia — like hell. |
