Dear Mrs. Robinson, your boy died today
He died a brave man far away
We had our dope, stashed it up real fine
Inside his mind

So we removed his brain and put in a K
He'll come back to you that way
And when you get him home, we hope you'll dig it out
Dig it out

And when you get it dear, will you make sure of this
To give it back to me
Because me and my offices have got a lot of clout

Micky Mouse's body bag gets FedExed from Kabul
Minnie Mouse, she wonders why the body bag's half-full
Oligarchs and oil barons tell Walt Disney the news
John Wayne marches off to war in Donald Duck's shoes

1 2 3 what are we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop Afghanistan
5 6 7 open up the pearly gates
There ain't no time to wonder why we're all gonna die

From napalm to phosphorous, suicide to bombs
Mekong Delta, Helmand province, Taliban to Vietcong
Ghost ride to Guantanamo, Rambo 1 to 5
Put your full metal jacket on, no one here gets out alive

1 2 3 what are we fighting for
No one here gets out alive
1 2 3 what are we fighting for
No one here gets out alive

No one here gets out alive

Vietnamistan
Vietnamistan
Vietnamistan
Vietnamistan

A new nation
A new nation

1 2 3 what are we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop Afghanistan
5 6 7 open up the pearly gates
There ain't no time to wonder why we're all gonna die

1 2 3 what are we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop Afghanistan
5 6 7 open up the pearly gates
There ain't no time to wonder why we're all gonna die

V - I - E - T - N - A - M - I -S - T - A - N
A new nation
V - I - E - T - N - A - M - I -S - T - A - N
A new nation
