Here's an oldie from the same time frame as Alice's Restaurant and a new version as well.
I FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO DIE RAG
by Country Joe and the Fish
Yeah!
Come on all of you big strong men.
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam,
So put down your books and pick up a gun.
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn.
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
Well, come on Generals, let's move fast.
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those Reds.
The only good Commie is the one that's dead.
You know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.
And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn.
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
Come on, Wall Street, don't move slow.
Why man, this is war a-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade.
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.
And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn.
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
Well, come on, mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on, fathers, don't hesitate,
Send them off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.
And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn.
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
And the new.
Fixin' to Die in Iraq
by Randall Bart
Come on all you Americans.
Bush is President again.
He found a guy who's really bad.
The name's Saddam. He's in Baghdad.
So show some ID, take off your shoes.
What have you got to lose?
And it's one, two, three,
What are we searching for?
George said it, it must be true.
I believe in W.
And it's five, six, seven,
Tell me who I should hate.
There's no need to wonder why,
'Cause Presidents never lie.
The USA's the worldwide cop,
And evildoers must be stopped.
Saddam's got nukes and poison gas.
Let's go kick him in the ass.
Conquer the land, sell off the oil.
To the victor goes the spoil.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we searching for?
George said it, it must be true.
I believe in W.
And it's five, six, seven,
Tell me who I should hate.
There's no need to wonder why,
'Cause Presidents never lie.
Now there's rebuilding to be done.
Halliburton is the one.
Cheney says they have the skills.
We're the ones who pay the bills.
So give up your rights. Write me a check.
We'll make the whole world a wreck.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we paying for?
Dick said it, it must be spent.
He's our Vice President.
And it's five, six, seven,
Tell me who I should hate.
There's no need to wonder why.
Vice Presidents never lie.
