I feel like im fixing to die rag

It's asking the big strong men to pick up some guns and help Uncle Sam in Vietnam.

It's asking generals to kill some reds, and peace can only be achieved when they are all dead.

It's asking Wall Street to make some money because of the war production, and to cope if a bomb is dropped, it's on Viet Cong.

It's asking mothers to send their boys off to war.




Four specific lines from the song that display sarcasm, cynicism, or anti-war sentiment:

• Whoopee! We're all gonna die.
• What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn.
• We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
• Open up the pearly gates,
  Well there ain't no time to wonder why.
