Send me off to die in some far off land,

Please give me a weapon, one kissed with love.

I’ll hide in the sand, a gun in my hand.

I’ll fight for liberty, or send my soul ‘bove

I’ll show them democracy or blow them up,

fire rains down from the heavens, in the

name of liberty and justice for some.

Draft me. Ask me to come. You will see the

power of persuasion at work with a gun,

After the talks of peace have all gone by,

I will be there blazing in the desert sun,

I will fight for their freedom until I die.

For I am everything the world must say,

Forever, my god, bless the U.S.A.
