Country Joe And The Fish - Kiss My Ass lyrics

rate me

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.
