When the boys and girls come home, Flags and banners waving high Shouting loud "We did it for our country, For world freedom we risked our lives"
No, NO
On their faces writ the lie Not for freedom God or country Did the young ones bleed and die Yes banners held on high But held in trembling hands Those who left their dearest friends Dead in foreign lands
NO
The bled and died because their countries Could provide no decent work I saw no well paid or famous Bleeding in the dirt
