Surf Nicaragua

I know a place we're all gonna go

Pay you to kill if you're eighteen years old

First you need a haircut and then some new clothes

Stick you in a jungle to play G.I. Joe

Fight for democracy, the American way

Not in your country, "What am I doin' here?" you say

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?

Force our ideas right down into their throats

American intervention grows deeper every day

Situations worsens, more soldiers on the way

Fight for democracy, the American way

Not in your country, "What am I doin' here?" you say

Now it's too late, you're entering Managua

If you had brought your surfboard, you could surf Nicaragua

Lessons we have learned are so easy to forget

Hints of Vietnam, how soon we all forget

First we send advisers and then go the troops

Another worthless conflict, another chance to lose

Fight for democracy, the American way

Not in your country, "What am I doin' here?" you say

Now it's too late, you're entering Managua

If you had brought your surfboard, you could surf Nicaragua
