I Ain't Marching Anymore

Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans

At the end of the early British war

Young land started growing

Young blood started flowing

I ain't marchin' anymore

For I've killed my share of Indians

In a thousand different fights

I was there at the Little Big Horn

I heard many men lying, saw many more dying

But I ain't marchin' anymore

Well, it's always the old to lead us to the war

It's always the young to fall

Now look at all we've done with the saber and the gun

Tell me was it worth it all?

For I stole California from the Mexican land

Fought in the bloody Civil War

Yeah, I even killed my brothers, so many others

But I ain't marchin' anymore

For I marched to the battles of the German trench

In war and I was bound to end all wars

Oh, I must have killed a million men

Now they want me back again

I ain't marchin' anymore

Yeah, it's always the old to lead us to the war

It's always the poor who die

Now look how far we've come with the saber and the gun

Tell me was it worth it all?

For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky

I set off the mighty mushroom roar

When I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning

That I ain't marchin' anymore

'Cause I saw into the hearts of the President's men

I saw money pound like bodies on the floor

I saw tears traded for dead mens

Fears made for the buyin'
