Lyrics Galt Macdermot

Galt Macdermot

3-5-0-0

Ripped open by metal explosion

Caught in barbed wire

Fireball

Bullet shock

Bayonet

Electricity

Shrapnel

Throbbing meat

Electronic data processing

Black uniforms

Bare feet, carbines

Mail-order rifles

Shoot the muscles

256 Viet Cong captured

256 Viet Cong captured

Prisoners in Niggertown

It's a dirty little war

Three Five Zero Zero

Take weapons up and begin to kill

Watch the long long armies drifting home

Prisoners in Niggertown

It's a dirty little war

Three Five Zero Zero

Take weapons up and begin to kill

Watch the long long armies drifting home

Ripped open by metal explosion

Caught in barbed wire

Fireball

Bullet shock

Bayonet

Electricity

Shrapnel

Throbbing meat
