philipdavidochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore

Lyrics

Oh, I marched to the Battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British war
A young land started growin'
The young blood started flowin'
But I ain't marchin' anymore

For I killed my share of Injuns in a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men a-lyin'
I saw many more a-dyin'
And I ain't marchin' anymore

Interlude:
It's always the old to lead us to the war
Always the young to fall
Now look at all we won with a sabre and a gun
Tell me, was it worth it all?

For I stole California from the Mexican land
Fought in the bloody Civil War
Yes, I even killed my brothers
And so many others
But I ain't marchin' anymore

For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all wars
I must have killed a million men
And now they want me back again
But I ain't marchin' anymore

(Repeat Interlude)

For I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burnin'
I knew that I was learnin'
That I ain't marchin' anymore

Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore
Call it "Peace" or call it "Treason"
Call it "Love" or call it "Reason"
But I ain't marchin' anymore

I Ain't Marching Anymore
