U.s. soldiers are a-dying over there, over there

As the status quo remains over there

U.s. soldiers are a-dying while their mothers sit home crying

It's a crime how they're dying over there.

Viet nam, oh viet nam, oh why must we die in viet nam

Well, i don't really care to die to die for the new frontier

And make viet nam safe for di-em-o-cra-cy.



Now one family rules the country over there, over there

And they lock up opposition over there

Well, i don't really crave to fill a viet nam-grave

As one family fills their pockets over there.

*chorus*



Now our soldiers burn the towns up over there, over there

And they relocate the people over there

Now this may sound like treason, but it sure shows lack of reason

To lock up groups of people over there.

*chorus*



Well, if you want to stop the fighting over there, over there

Then you better stir up action over here

Drop your congressman a line, let him know what's on your mind

And the crisis will be over over there.

*chorus*
