KILL FOR PEACE
(Tuli Kupferberg)

CHORUS: Kill, kill, kill for peace. Kill, kill, kill for peace.

Near or Middle or very Far East,
Far or Near or very Middle East, CHORUS

If you don't like the people or the way that they talk,
If you don't like their manners or they way that they walk, CHORUS

If you don't kill them, then the Chinese will.
If you don't want America to play second fiddle, CHORUS

If you let them live, they might support the Russians.
If you let them live, they might love the Russians. CHORUS

SPOKEN: Kill 'em, kill 'em, strafe those gook creeps!

The only gook an American can trust
Is a gook that's got his yellow head bust. CHORUS

Kill, kill, it'll feel so good,
Like my captain said it should. CHORUS

Kill, it will give you a mental ease.
Kill, it will give you a big release. CHORUS TWICE
