Army ads looked so cool - i signed right up. Besides, it was the only way could find a job. "great place to start" and see the world womanize at discos and fake going nuts to scam infirmary d** 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 sending our top guns to guard your sky? flying their fighter planes upside down, stoned out of their minds. for a real hot time, how 'bout an air show crash? or a g.i. riding a stolen tank through downtown manhattan and off the riverbank where he drowns. fall in with the clowns, remember, nato is here to protect you with nuclear bombs that come to visit and decided to stay. (Chorus:) 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 except maybe our bradley tanks tripping over themselves both powers have one goal in common: to keep germany divided never strong enough to start another world war occupied by the clowns is it really you, nato is here to protect? with berlin type walls when they came to visit we all decided to stay. (Chorus)
