A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can
              Gm        Gm7   C                Dm

Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed

You`ll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that you`ve left for good

Smiling faces as you wait to land, but once you get there no-one gives a damn

Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls `Stand up and fight!`

Night is falling and you just can`t see, is this illusion or reality?
