Fathers are pleading, lovers are all alone
|
Mothers are praying-send our sons back home
|
You marched them away-yes, you did-on ships and planes
|
To the senseless war, facing death in vain
|
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Turn the ships around, lay your weapons down
|
|
Can't you see 'em march across the sky, all the soldiers that have died
|
Tryin' to get home-can't you see them tryin' to get home?
|
Tryin' to get home-they're tryin' to get home
|
Cease all fire on the battlefield
|
Enough men have already been wounded or killed
|
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Turn the ships around, lay your weapons down
|
(Mothers, fathers and lovers, can't you see them)
|
|
Oooh, oooh...
|
Tryin' to get home-can't you see them tryin' to get home?
|
Oooh, oooh...
|
Tryin' to get home-they're tryin' to get home
|
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
|
What they doing over there, now (bring 'em back alive)
|
When we need them over here, now (bring 'em back alive)
|
What they doing over there, now (bring 'em back alive)
|
When we need them over here, now (bring 'em back alive)
|
