Intro
Verse 1
I Got A Little Telegram From Lbj,
Said, "Come On Down, The Weather's Fine,
But First We're Gonna Check You Out And Teach You What To Do,
So, Buddy, Better Stand In Line,
We're Gonna Strip You Naked And Build You Up Again,
And Then We're Gonna Mess Up Your Mind,
And Then We'll Send You In The Jungle,
If You're Lucky You'll Survive,
You'll Learn To Dodge A Claymore Mine,
You'll Be A Dove In Hawk's Clothing,
Yes You Will".
Verse 2
I Went Down To The Draft Board And Said, "You Guys Are Nuts,
Killing People Just Ain't Right",
They Looked At Me And Laughed Out Loud,
And Rolled On The Floor,
And Said "You're Really Outasite,
Take Our Eight Week Basic Course It's Called '100 Ways To Kill',
And Know That You'll See The Light",
The Way The Grabbed Me By The Arm,
I Knew They Weren't Kidding Around,
And I Began To Feel Uptight,
I Can't Be A Dove In Hawk's Clothing,
No, No, No.
Instrumental
Verse 3
I Applied For Co But That Did Me No Good,
They Said "To War Or Jail You Must Go",
I Said, "That Isn't Very Much Of A Choice,
So Let Me Think, I'll Let You Know",
They Said "It's Unpatriotic To Think Out Loud,
You Sound Like A Peacenik Pinko",
So They Threw Me In The Prison With A Five-Year Term,
And Now I'm Feeling Pretty Low,
'Cause I'm A Dove In Convict's Clothing,
Oh, No, No.
