And I wonder how Franklin felt in '42 The war's still new but I'm tired of fighting Bloody boys sobbing fears all somehow died brave men Exalted then, so wrong yet somehow inviting Like a dream moving in slow motion The smell of d**h spreads across the ocean Despite the ma**es that hate the notion Bending every purpose toward war And the bombs start falling Tight fists of rage hurled Searching for sanity In such a crazy world And it's crazy I guess I thought when we got in our boats and sailed away We wouldn't be here today, we left behind all that fighting In a place where they're still debating feudal rights And boundary lines and ancient agreements But I know that I'm only dreaming
Any day I could wake up screaming Taking orders in a far away land Marching 'round with a gun in my hand And the bombs start falling As the trigger fingers pull Searching for sanity In such a crazy world And it's crazy It's such a crazy world It's crazy Little boys go marching on for peace Little boys go marching on for peace Little boys go marching on for peace Little boys go marching on for peace Little boys go marching on for peace (Little boys go) The bombs start falling (Marching on for peace) As the trigger fingers pull Searching for sanity In such a crazy world And it's crazy It's such a crazy world Such a crazy world
