[Intro]               [Verse 1] Just out of the infantry this morning I had to pay my dues across the sea But no one back in boot camp ever warned me What the readjustment blues would do to me. [Verse 2] "Welcome to Havannah" said the pilot "We must have made a wroooong turn on the way." "Let’s buy some cigars and keep it quiiiet If they don’t know we’re here we’ll get away." [Verse 3] Just as I had realized he was joking I saw we were in Washington D.C. ’Cause there was all the patriotic buiiiiildings. Just like I had seen them on T.V. [Chorus 1] It must have been a holiday ’cause there was this parade. People carried signs I couldn’t read that they had made.    ’Till I got closer and my heart fell to my socks;   There was a battle raging and the air was Filled with teargas and rocks. [Verse 4] There was the flag I’d fought against so often The one I fought for hanging upsiiiide down The wind was blowing ha-AARD the dirt was flying It made the city sky-YY look dark and brown. [Verse 5] I saw a girl…    she could have been my sister    Except her hair was lo-OONG and in her face She explained…  this was a demonstraaaation Against the war… and foooor the human ra-AAACE. [Verse 6] Now I’ve seen a lot of strange things in my travels Cannibals yes…   and aliens galoooore But I never thought I’d see so many peeeople Saying we don’t want your + + + wAAA-aa-aar! [Chorus 2]   The troops all had on uniforms Just like the one I’d worn But they were all domestic… and myy-yy duty chose waaar    They carried guuUUNS just like the ones across the sea Except this time I was the citizen And they was pointing their guns at meEEE Yes I-III was just a citizen And I was walking down the street And it was just then that the Re-adjustment Bluuuuuuuuuuuues Got through to meeeeeee-eeeee
