Dead Kennedys - Back In Rhodesia Lyrics

Dead Kennedys Lyrics

"Back In Rhodesia"
(Early version of "When Ya Get Drafted")

Have you been reading the morning papers?
The Cold War's coming back in style
There's general's here, advisors there
And the Cuban intel everywhere
The Cold War's filling up with red
We make big bucks when we blow off their heads

They got ripped, scared and bandaged, time to go to war (Back in Rhodesia!)
Massive headlines in the papers, we want total war (Back in Rhodesia!)

Drooling fingers, panic button
We finally get to try new toys
The war's big bucks for embassy
We can't afford to lose another economic colony
Bring back the draft
Bring 'em under our wing

Cuban oil and no more hotrods, when we go to war (Back in Rhodesia!)
Massive headlines in the papers, we want total war (Back in Rhodesia!)
Call the army, call the Navy, time to play with guns (Back in Rhodesia!)
If they're risk uneven battle and play rotten, we can play spy

As soon as we have flexed our macho colonizer abs (Back in Rhodesia!)
We want oil and we need money drugging people
Back in Rhodesia,
Back in Rhodesia!
