Kiss my ass


Got outta school and I was feelin kinda down
I Thought I'd join the army, justa take a look around
Went on down to the recruiter man
And thats when all'a my troubles began

Well I've been up, down and around this country
More than a couple'a times, but i'd never knew it till I got to the army
That thinkin for yourself was a crime

Get over here, stand over there
Let's see your identification
Shut your mouth, son, get back in line
We're sendin you to Southeast Asia

Well they gave me some shoes that hurt my feet
They gave me some food not fit to eat
They told me that I wasn't fightin alone
They sent me to Siagon and they stayed home

Well I've been up, down and around this country
More than a couple'a times, but i'd never knew it till I got to the army
That thinkin for yourself was a crime

Get over here, stand over there
Let's see your identification
Shut your mouth, son, get back in line
We're sendin you to Southeast Asia

Alright--

1-2-3-4
We don't want your fuckin war
A-B-C-D
Get someone else, hey, don't get me
Left, Right, Left, Right
You know the whole damn thing puts me uptight

I done my duty and I fought my fight
And I thought I knew I was goin right
But thats all over, I'm free at last
An' if they want anymore, they can kiss my ass

Cause I've been up, down and around this country
More than a couple'a times, but i'd never knew it till I got to the army
That thinkin for yourself was a crime

Get over here, stand over there
Let's see your identification
Shut your mouth, son, get back in line
We're sendin you to Southeast Asia

Like Hell.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Country Joe and the Fish was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1965. They were among the influential groups in the San Francisco music scene during the mid-to-late 1960s. Much of their music was written by founding members Country Joe McDonald and Barry "The Fish" Melton, with lyrics pointedly addressing issues of importance to the counterculture, such as anti-war protests, free love, and recreational drug use. Through a combination of psychedelia and electronic music, the band's sound was marked by innovative guitar melodies and distorted organ-driven instrumentals which were significant to the development of acid rock.
