As the guns go blazin' And bombs keep fallin' I wonder what life was 80 years ago What time it was Oh...they hated my black skin But at least my masters Fought for freedom, Peace and love (How charming) They go about In their armored beasts And instruments of pain Reigning destruction on The human race But now I wonder What will we do? This oh so wonderful Sweet-lovin' Generation of mine We dare not think Of the death of our fellow man But we crowd ourselves And beckon forth To fan the flames Of war, and death and destruction The pigs in their ivory towers called And still call upon generations To sacrifice, to die For the country we so love But I wonder, I truly wonder When it really matters Who will bear the cost Of our death and misdeeds? Oh, women shall cry And men of iron shed a tear Daughters too For there goes our sons, our brothers And lovers To death they now knew And I wonder what they'll do When I join them very soon What can I do? I'm just a tool , yes a tool A government mule And yet I raise my banner And I march on, I really do AK in one hand, a machete in the other On the beach, in the air, in the city In the jungle, the snow and sands At the highest peaks And lowest valleys In tundra and in heat I say truly to my country, "It's an honor to die for you."
