lyrics

Get on Back

Get on back to Vietnam
Chickamauga
Bunker Hill
Add a little thing we called it
Which war are we fighting for
I don't think I'll get enough
Which war are we fighting for (repeat)
Oh we sure do like our bombs
Like a mountain
Get on back
Get on back to Korea
This is just for you
We gonna lick the Hun
Too damn hard to hump back to Verdun
Make a stand
We love our bombs
At Belleau Wood
15,000'
We sure do like our bombs

Which war are we
Fighting for are we (repeat)
Get on back
Get on back to Korea
We gonna lick the Hun
Come on back to Verdun
Make a stand
At Belleau Wood

We like our bombs
They fulfill us
"He's brilliant but dangerous"
"Whether or not to launch nuclear missiles
on the basis of ambiguous warning"
We like our bombs
They fulfill us
Death from above
Mediated by the T V screen
"... People have now
This was a tragic blunder, that they were in the middle
of a catastrophe"
Death

This break is followed by more music...
Sampled Henry Kissinger and Presidents whining, cajoling pounding the lectern and Thanh Mai.

Closing lyrics.

Back to Vietnam (repeat)
Over again
