The War Song |

| Barren land into me
Hungry faces in my dreams Got a rifle slung over his brown shoulder Only fifteen and a veteran soldier Blood thirty crys pierce the night Killing children is it right And is it for freedom that they fight Or the will to live and the fear to die Body's sweatin' out all the inborn hate Live for that moment in the shade Or to get out of the tarred sun Bodies I know droppin' one by one Thousands come one and all Hear the sound of the battle call The big men say boys you all have to go Ask any question and you face the wall Listen now what I tell you boy There's got to be some changes And they have to be made now Hear the sound of the battle call Soon you won't hear no sound at all |
