There was a time I thought I’d live forever, I was too damn tough to die. But after all these years of abusing myself I’m damned if I know why And it’s looking like my living days will soon be in my past But there’s one thing, Lord, that I need from you, before I breathe my last.

I’ve probably asked for too much while I was taking up my space But, I need to ask for one more thing, before I leave this place. If you’ll grant me one last final wish, I’ll offer up my soul Then take me any time you want, while they plant me in that hole.

Lord, please let me live , to see Jane Fonda die! Then you can send me down to hell, and I’ll smile while I fry I know you’ve let her live too long, but I’m damned if I know why, So, please let me live, to see Jane Fonda die!

Some friends and I spent some time in a place called Viet Nam Most of us left here young boys, but we all came back a man. They didn’t let us make the rules, so we did what we were told And almost sixty thousand men lost their chance at getting’ old.

Back home they marched against the war, and called us evil names Like ‘baby killers’, and ‘war mongers’; and said we were insane And, hell, we just ignored them, and let ‘em have their fun We’ve forgotten almost all their names, but we won’t forget this ONE…..

While our friends were dying in the south, she flew up to Hanoi And sat on anti-aircraft guns that were shooting down our boys And the smile she wore while sitting there for all the world to see! Is something that we won’t forgive for all eternity!

So, Lord, let me live to see Jane Fonda die! Then you can send us both to hell, and I’ll smile while we fry! I know you’ve let her live too long, but I’m damned if I know why. But please, Lord, let me live to see Jane Fonda die!

Well, the traitor bitch went into hiding, for almost 40 years. But that don’t mean a hill of beans to the mom’s who cried those tears After losing sons who paid the price, so she could protest war So you need to send her down to Hell; we don’t want her here no more!

OH, Please let me live to see Jane Fonda die! I wanna piss and dance on her grave, and then I’ll gladly fry! I know the price is condemnation, but this will be a celebration! So, Lord! Please! Let me live, to see Jane Fonda die!
