[Ou Ji]

Well come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a teerrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun

And it's 1 2 3 what are we fightin for?
Don't ask me I don't give a d a m n
Next stop is Vietnam

And it 5 6 7 open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee we're all gonna die

Country Joe McDonald

I've always liked this one:

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes and how many years can people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes and how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my firend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

-Blowing in the Wind by Bob Dylan

Ha, I didn't click on that first link until now and what do you know there's the song listed right up top. Hell, I just like that song.

Fixin To Die Rag lyrics

[Ou Ji]

Well come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself tied up with a beast
Way out yonder in the middle east
Dump your ipods and grab a gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun

[TonyM.]

Come on Mothers throughout the land, pack your boys off to Vietnam. Come on Fathers don't hesitate, send them off before it's too late. Be the first ones on your block, to have your boy come home in a box.

Well come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself tied up with a beast
Way out yonder in the middle east
Dump your ipods and grab a gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun

Cuz it's 1,2,3 what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me me I don't give a ****
Next stop's afghanistan. / Next stop's Iraq man! (Chose whichever you prefer)

And it's 5,6,7 open up the pearly gate
Well I ain't got time to wonder why
Whopee wer'e all gonna die!

[Ou Ji]

Come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
he's got himself tied up with a beast
way out yonder in the middle east
so dump your ipods and pick up a gun
we're gonna have a whole lotta fun

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
don't ask me I don't give a ****, next stop is old Iran
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
whoopee we're all gonna die

Come on generals, let's move fast
your big chance has come at last
now you can go out and get towel heads
cos the only good muslim is the one that's dead and
you know that peace can only be won when we've
blown 'em all to kingdom come

Come on wall street don't be slow
why man this war is a go-go
there's plenty good money to be made by
supplying the army with the tools of its trade
let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
they drop it on central Tehran

Come on mothers throughout the land
pack your boys off to old Iran
come on fathers don't hesitate
send your sons off before it's too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box
