Surf Nicaragua

[Verse 1]

I know a place where you're all gonna go

They'll pay you to kill if you're eighteen years old

First you'll need a haircut, and then some new clothes

They'll stick you in a jungle to play G.I. Joe

[Chorus]

You fight for democracy and the American way

You're not in your country; "What am I doing here?", you say

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

If you had brought your surfboard, you could surf Nicaragua

[Verse 2]

What is this we're fighting for? What's our ultimate goal?

To force our ideas right down to their throats

American intervention grows deeper every day

The situation worsens, more soldiers on the way

[Chorus]

You fight for democracy and the American way

You're not in your country; "What am I doing here?", you say

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

If you had brought your surfboard, you could surf Nicaragua

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Lessons we have learned are so easy to forget

Hints of Vietnam, how soon we all forget

First we send advisors, and then go the troops

Another worthless conflict, another chance to lose

[Chorus]

You fight for democracy and the American way

You're not in your country; "What am I doing here?", you say

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

If you had brought your surfboard, you could surf Nicaragua
