Surf Nicaragua

I know a place

Where you're all going to go

They'll pay you to kill

If You're eighteen years old

First You'll need a haircut

And then some new clothes

They'll stick you in a jungle

To play G.I. Joe

CHORUS:

You fight for democracy

And the "American Way"

But you're not in your country

"What am I doing here?" you say

But now it's too late

You're entering Managua

If you had brought your surfboard

You could surf Nicaragua

What is this we're fighting for

What's our ultimate goal

To force our ideas

Right down their throats

American Intervention

Grows Deeper Everyday

The situation worsens

More soldiers on the way

CHORUS:

You fight for democracy

And the "American Way"

But you're not in your country

"What am I doing here?" you say

But now it's too late

You're entering Managua

If you had brought your surfboard

You could surf Nicaragua

Lessons we have learned

Are easy to forget

Hints of viet-nam

How soon we all forget

First we send advisors

And then go the troops

Another worthless conflict

Another Chance to lose

CHORUS:

You fight for democracy

And the "American Way"

But you're not in your country

"What am I doing here?" you say

But now it's too late

You're entering Managua

If you had brought your surfboard

You could surf Nicaragua
