lyrics

why would some poor slob on a farm
want to risk his life in a war
when the best that he can get
is to come back to his farm
in one piece?

naturally, the common people don't want war

that is understood but after all it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy
and it is always a simple matter
to drag the people along.
voice or no voice, the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders.
all you have to do is tell them they are being attacked

denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
denounce the pacifists for exposing the country to danger

tell them that they are being attacked

it works the same way in any country
