Men of thousands fighting for their homeland
on foreign territory
killing men they will never know
because Uncle Sam says

Soldiers getting shot
by their enemies
also by their own allies
because Uncle Sam says

Men dying for freedom
leaving their families
with only a memory
because Uncle Sam says

Soldier baby's crying
because daddy got shot
on the line of duty
because Uncle Sam says

Thousands dead
by the end of the day
all for our freedom
because Uncle Sam says
