1
U.s. soldiers are a-dying over there, over there
2
As the status quo remains over there
3
U.s. soldiers are a-dying while their mothers sit home crying
4
It's a crime how they're dying over there.
5
Viet nam, oh viet nam, oh why must we die in viet nam
6
Well, I don't really care to die to die for the new frontier
7
And make viet nam safe for di-em-o-cra-cy.
8
Now one family rules the country over there, over there
9
And they lock up opposition over there
10
Well, I don't really crave to fill a viet nam-grave
11
As one family fills their pockets over there.
12
*chorus*
13
Now our soldiers burn the towns up over there, over there
14
And they relocate the people over there
15
Now this may sound like treason, but it sure shows lack of reason
16
To lock up groups of people over there.
17
*chorus*
18
Well, if you want to stop the fighting over there, over there
19
Then you better stir up action over here
20
Drop your congressman a line, let him know what's on your mind
21
And the crisis will be over over there.
22
*chorus*
