Watch Out

Watch Out! Watch Out!
There’s a rumble of war in the air
Watch Out! Watch Out!
There’s a rumble of war in the air
With a man like that you never know where or when
He’s gone, he’s gone and sent in the Marines again
Some are small and frightened
Some well-seasoned men
Some are rightly scared to death
Some are feeling joy at seeing blood again
Today they recruited calmly
In a patriotic trend
Sending poor people off to war
It’s cheap cannon fodder again
Casualties seldom counted
Are the ones the guns invade
The ones who work the land, the ones
who love the land
Where dreams of peace are made
