Country Joe & The Fish Lyrics
"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.
