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



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



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



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
