From the recording Beam Me Up!
About getting the notice from the Select Service to sign up for the Armed Forces USA at the age of 18.
Regardless of the point of view of the song, I honor, respect and care about those who serve and have served our country (USA) and wish the Government who they protect and serve for (and for the American people) would treat them with the utmost respect and care following their service, not leave them homeless and in debt with injuries both physical and mental. Let's all take care of our troops please and treat them with kindness and understanding.
Lyrics
Don’t Send Me an Invitation
Send me an Invitation
Cos I’m Bad
There was a recruit officer (knockin’ on my door)
Recruit Officer (knockin’ on my door)
Tell him I’m gone and won’t be back and so he don’t need to come around no more
There was a recruit officer (knockin’ on my door)
Recruit Officer (knockin’ on my door)
You won’t find no war sympathizer, in the house of the Yogo
Why don’t you just let me be
All they want do is use my body
To kill innocent victims for your war machine
Don’t Send Me an Invitation
Send me an Invitation
Cos I’m Bad (repeat)
Just keep it on the D-Low,
They wanna keep it on the D-Low
Tell ‘em I’m gone and won’t be back so they don’t need to come around no more,
Keep it on the D-Low,
They wanna keep it on the D-Low
You won’t find no war sympathizer, at the house of the Yogo
Why don’t they just let me be
All I want is peace in my country
Save that piece of paper, why don’t they just save a tree
Sign on a line I’ll take you round the world,
You’ll have a great time and meet exotic girls
And if you wanna come home to a house on a hill
Hey Son I’ll hook you up with a G.I. Bill
Don’t Send Me an Invitation
Send me an Invitation
Cos I’m Bad (repeat)
