Army ads looked cool-I signed right up

Besides, it was the only way could find a job

"Great place to start" and see the world

Womanize at discos

And fake going nuts

To scam infirmary drugs



So send in the clowns

The NATO circus is here to protect you

Your choice must be ours

Yankee corruption

Or the big bad Soviet threat



Don't you feel secure

Sending our Top Guns guard your sky

Flying their fighter planes upside down

Stoned out of their minds



For a real hot time

How 'bout an air show crash?

Or a G.I. riding a stolen tank

Through downtown Manhattan

And off the riverbank

Where he drowns



Fall in with the clowns

Remember-

NATO is here to protect you

With nuclear bombs

That come to visit

And decided to stay



CHORUS

Attack!

Attack!

Of the peacekeepers

Attack!



The charge of the joke brigade

In charge

We can blow up the world

More times than you



We'll show 'em

We'll show 'em

With radioactive subs



W'ell show 'em

We'll show 'em

With missiles in your back yard



Guarded

By soldiers

On acid during night watch

And generals who care only

For fat pensions and bribes



If that don't scare the commies nothing will

Cept maybe our Bradley tanks tripping over themselves

Both powers have one goal in common

to keep Germany divided

Never strong enough to start another world war



Occupied by the clowns

Is it really you NATO is here to protect?

With Berlin type walls

When they came to visit

We all decided to stay



CHORUS
