My Uncle

He must know what is right and what is wrong

He said a man should never fight for glory

So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border
But I suspect, it's more than I can pay
Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle
A sad old soldier once told me a story
He's askin' me to sign a three-year contract
That tends to keep a good man underground
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair
About a battlefield that he was on

So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order

I guess, I'll catch the first bus out today
That tends to keep a good man underground
That tends to keep a good man underground, oh yeah
Vancouver may be just my kind of town

Vancouver may be just my kind of town
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border
