II been thinkin' Uncle Sam
It’s time we went to war
Been so long since Vietnam
Tell me what you’re waitin' for

If you don’t hurry, sure enough
All these kids will be grown up
Be too old to die for you
So get em if your goin' too

Ain’t been much excitement on
Evening news in way too long
Let’s break out our submarines
Blow some place to smithereens

Russians and the Cubans too
Have been makin' fun of you
They call you a chicken shit
And I’m just sick and tired of it

But I’m too old so I can’t go
Don’t you to worry tho
Patriotic as can be
Sing 'my country tis of thee'

(break)
If you don’t know who to get first
You can’t figure who’s the worst
Why not blow em both away
And they’ll be careful what they say
Won’t nobody call you names
They know you blow out their brains
Show the world how big your gun
Show ‘em how the west was won

Happy birthday, fine young man
Take your letter in your hand
Go downtown and sign your name
It’s time to play the freedom game

Kiss your mom and girlfriend bye
Might be the last they see of you
Might have to kiss your ass goodbye
To keep old glory wavin' high

I been thinkin' Uncle Sam
It’s time we went to war
Been so long since Vietnam
Tell me what you’re waintin' for?
