JOHNNY WENT TO WAR (burke) Johnny went to war,he didn´t know what for, jonnny came home to die,still didn´t know the reason why, johnny got a letter sayin loyalty,faith and hope and love your country, johnny didn´t know,just where his country was, so johnny went to fight the foe,to kill his brothers that he didn´t know yet, now johnny is a was. (chorus) Johnny´s gone and his body lingers on, his mind´s been blown away one day soon they´ll be together again ´cause, johnny´s body dosen´t want to stay. Big daddy´s got the gun,he´s gonna win the war tonight, the only problem that he´s got is he don´t know how to fight, but he´s got society to do the job for him, take little sons from grieving mums,and teach them how to sin, you gotta love your president,he knows whats right for you, you gotta do the little jobs for him that he just don´t wanna do. (chorus) now johnny sits in his white room,in his coat of arms, strapped so fast behind his back,so he won´t cause alarm, what he once thought to be wrong,they thaught him to be right, now the tables have turn´d again but,johnny´s body´s away with the fight (chorus) in a world where wrong has become right, and the only love is the love of the fight, its a bitter meaningless,endless game, no one can win,but,everybody wants to play. |
