General Johnson - Bring The Boys Home lyrics

Fathers are pleading, lovers are all alone Mothers are prayin', send our sons back home (tell 'em 'bout it) You marched them away, yes you did now, on ships and planes To a senseless war facing d**h 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) (Why don't you) Turn the ships around (Everybody oughta) Lay your weapons down Can't you see 'em marchin' 'cross 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 (tell 'em 'bout it) on the battlefield Enough men have already been wounded and k**ed 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) (Why don't you) Turn the ships around (Everybody oughta) Lay your weapons down (Mothers, fathers, and lovers, can't you see them?) Tryin' to get home Can't you see them tryin' to get home (Have mercy) Tryin' to get home 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 doin' over there now (bring 'em back alive) When we need 'em over here now? (bring 'em back alive) What they doin' over there now (bring 'em back alive) When we need 'em over here now? (bring 'em back alive) Bring 'em all, bring 'em all home (bring 'em back alive) Bring 'em all, bring 'em home now (bring 'em back alive) (fade out)
