Written at a time when the United States was supporting mujahideen fighters in the Soviet-Afghan War, including Osama Bin Laden and groups that would evolve into al Qaeda, “Paid Vacation” seems to presage America’s spiraling Middle East military entanglements and their connection to the oil industry...
[Intro]
I hope you're having fun
Where's your uniform, where's your gun?
Better rub up that suntan lotion
'Cause you'll be fighting in the hot sun
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not Vietnam
Just another oil company scam
Salute that flag for Uncle Sam
Get your money out, place your bets
It's Afghanistan!
[Chorus]
Fix bayonets, check grenades
Got enough bullets, got enough rounds to wipe out this place
Where’s the infantry and the cavalry?
Parachutes fill the skies as bodies burn and people die
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not Vietnam
It's another oil company scam
You'd better salute that flag for Uncle Sam
Get your money out, place your bets
It's Afghanistan!
[Chorus]
Fix bayonets, check grenades
Got enough bullets, got enough rounds to wipe out this place
Where’s the infantry and the cavalry?
Parachutes fill the skies as bodies burn and people die
