Give me an "F! ..."F"! give me a "U"! ..."U"! Give me a "C"! ..."C" Give me a "K"! ..."K"! WHATS THAT SPELL? ..."FUCK!" (x5)
Well come on all of you big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again, he got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonder in Vietnam, put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gunna have a whole lotta fun.
CHORUS: and its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for? don't ask me i don't give a damn, the next stop is Vietnam, and its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates. Well there aint no time to wonder why...WHOOPEE we're all gunna die.
now come on wall street don't be slow, why man this's war a-go-go, there's plenty good money to be made, supplyin' the army with the tools of the trade, just hope and pray that when they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Vietcong.
CHORUS
now come on generals lets move fast, your big chance is here at last. Might you go out and get those reds cuz the only good commie is one thats dead, you know that peace can only be won, when you blow em all to kingdom come.
CHORUS (x2)
now come on mothers throughout the land, pack your boys off to vietnam, come on fathers don't hesitate, send your sons off before its too late, be the first one on your block, to have your boy come home in a box
CHORUS
Alright!!
Fantastic song.
For a modern song which I believe lives up to the legacy of this one I'd recommend Jesse Welles - War Isn't Murder

I just had an argument about my mental health and future with my folks (to whom I was planning to come out until they said a bunch of homophobic and transphobic shit), I'm really feeling the title of this song rn.
Sorry to overshare/dump my feelings on the wrong forum for it.
I'm late replying but I hope you have a better day tomorrow comrade
