[Chorus:]
Well - Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye
Bye bye to you and I
Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye
Bye bye to you and I…
He's gonna post his picture on every door..
Sign up now let's go to war.
Don't get fooled like you did before
He ain't gonna point at me no more..
[Chorus]
He's gonna give us guns, gonna give us tools..
Gonna send us to enforces his rules
But as we sail to some troubled land
Be sure he'll stand just a waving his hand.
[Chorus]
Uncle! Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye…
[x2]
And it's one two three what are we fighting for
Don't ask - don't give a damn
Next stop, Iraq again
And it's five, six, seven - open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why -
whoopee we're all going to die.
Post his picture on every door
Sign up now let's go to war
Don't get fooled like you did before
He ain't gonna point at me no more
[Chorus]
Well - Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye
Bye bye to you and I
Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye
Bye bye to you and I…
He's gonna post his picture on every door..
Sign up now let's go to war.
Don't get fooled like you did before
He ain't gonna point at me no more..
[Chorus]
He's gonna give us guns, gonna give us tools..
Gonna send us to enforces his rules
But as we sail to some troubled land
Be sure he'll stand just a waving his hand.
[Chorus]
Uncle! Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye…
[x2]
And it's one two three what are we fighting for
Don't ask - don't give a damn
Next stop, Iraq again
And it's five, six, seven - open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why -
whoopee we're all going to die.
Post his picture on every door
Sign up now let's go to war
Don't get fooled like you did before
He ain't gonna point at me no more
[Chorus]

Lyrics & Music by Duane Murrin
Album: Massive Folk Fist [2001]
"A different recording of this song appears on the Flying Folk Army demo CD. Uncle Sam was originally written in 1991 at the outset of the bombing of Iraq. Since the Flying Folk Army has been performing it, we have had to change the lyrics (that reference where the US is currently bombing) three different times to reflect the "new" war wherever it may be - We thank Country Joe and the Fish for the musical clip that we borrowed for this song. As long as wars go on - there must be protest! before this place really bursts.."
