(1989)
Army ads looked cool -- I signed right up
Besides, it was the only way I could find a job
'Great place to start' and see the world
Womanize at discos
And fake going nuts
To scam infirmary drugs
So send in the clowns
The NATO circus is here to protect you
Your choice must be ours
Yankee corruption
Or the big bad Soviet threat
Don't you feel secure
Seeing our Top Guns guard your sky
Flying their fighter planes upside down
Stoned our of their minds
For a real hot time
How 'bout an air show crash?
Or a G.I. riding in a stolen tank
Through downtown Manheim
And off the river bank
Where he drowns
Fall in with the clowns
Remember --
NATO is here to protect you
With nuclear bombs
That came to visit
And decided to stay
Attack!
Attack!
Of the Peacekeepers
Attack!
The charge of the joke brigade in charge
We can blow up the world
More times than you
We'll show 'em
We'll show 'em
With radioactive subs
We'll show 'em
We'll show 'em
With missiles in your back yard
Guarded
By soldiers
On acid during night watch
And generals who care only
For fat pensions and bribes
If that don't scare the commies nothing will
'Cept maybe our Bradley tanks tripping over themselves
Both powers have on goal in common
To keep Germany divided
Never strong enough to start another world war
Occupied by the clowns
Is it really NATO here to protect?
With Berlin type walls
When they came to visit
We all decided they stay
Attack!
Attack!
Of the Peacekeepers
Attack!
Besides, it was the only way I could find a job
'Great place to start' and see the world
