Help save the youth of America
|
Help save them from themselves
|
Help save the sun-tanned surfer boys
|
And the Californian girls
|
|
When the lights go out in the rest of the World
|
What do our cousins say
|
They're playing in the sun and having fun, fun, fun
|
Till Daddy takes the gun away
|
|
From the Big Church to the Big River
|
And out to the Shining Sea
|
This is the Land of Opportunity
|
And there's a Monkey Trial on TV
|
|
A nation with their freezers full
|
Are dancing in their seats
|
While outside another nation
|
Is sleeping in the streets
|
|
Don't tell me the old, old story
|
Tell me the truth this time
|
Is the Man in the Mask or the Indian
|
An enemy or a friend of mine
|
|
Help save the youth of America
|
Help save the youth of the world
|
Help save the boys in uniform
|
Their mothers and their faithful girls
|
|
Listen to the voice of the soldier
|
Down in the killing zone
|
Talking about the cost of living
|
And the price of bringing him home
|
|
They're already shipping the body bags
|
Down by the Rio Grande
|
But you can fight for democracy at home
|
And not in some foreign land
|
|
And the fate of the great United States
|
Is entwined in the fate of us all
|
And the incident at Tschernobyl proves
|
The world we live in is very small
|
|
And the cities of Europe have burned before
|
And they may yet burn again
|
And if they do I hope you understand
|
That Washington will burn with them
|
Omaha will burn with them
|
Los Alamos will burn with them
