Hats Like This

-Temple

INTRO :08

In the navy, you can sail the ocean blue.
In the Air Force (zoom!), you can fly an airplane, too.
In the Marines, you can can carry fancy swords,
But in the army, you can wear hats like this.

Down in Lebanon (-non, -non),
All the people gone (gone, gone).
Soldiers walk around (round, round)
Shooting up the town (town, town).
Lebanon. Really gone.
Yeah. Yeah.

East of West Beirut (rute, rute),
Wear your soldier suit (suit, suit).
Keep on watching high (high, high)
For missiles from the sky (sky, sky).
West Beirut. Soldier suit.
Yeah. Yeah.

In the navy, you can sail the ocean blue.
In the Air Force (zoom!), you can fly an airplane, too.
In the Marines, you can can carry fancy swords,
But in the army, you can wear hats like this.

You carry guns when you're in the military.
You follow someone else's itinerary.
You're trained to kill people, and it's no big joke.
Don't join the Army even if you're broke.
Da-da-da-dat, dat-da.
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.

Back in Vietnam (nam, nam),
I once knew a man (man, man).
Agent Orange friend (friend, friend).
Met a real dead end (end, end).
Vietnam. Dead man.
Yeah. Yeah.

In the USA (A, A)
People here today (day, day)
Think it's really great (great, great)
To kill the folks they hate (hate, hate).
USA. Here today.
Yeah. Yeah.

There are jobs...
If you're out of work.
Even for slobs...
And those who shirk.
Don't be a loser and sign your life away.
Don't kill anyone today.
