Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans
|
At the end of the early British war
|
Young land started growing
|
Young blood started flowing
|
I ain't marchin' anymore
|
|
For I've killed my share of Indians
|
In a thousand different fights
|
I was there at the Little Big Horn
|
I heard many men lying, saw many more dying
|
But I ain't marchin' anymore
|
|
Well, it's always the old to lead us to the war
|
It's always the young to fall
|
Now look at all we've done with the saber and the gun
|
Tell me was it worth it all?
|
|
For I stole California from the Mexican land
|
Fought in the bloody Civil War
|
Yeah, I even killed my brothers, so many others
|
But I ain't marchin' anymore
|
|
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
|
In war and I was bound to end all wars
|
Oh, I must have killed a million men
|
Now they want me back again
|
I ain't marchin' anymore
|
|
Yeah, it's always the old to lead us to the war
|
It's always the poor who die
|
Now look how far we've come with the saber and the gun
|
Tell me was it worth it all?
|
|
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky
|
I set off the mighty mushroom roar
|
When I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning
|
That I ain't marchin' anymore
|
|
'Cause I saw into the hearts of the President's men
|
I saw money pound like bodies on the floor
|
I saw tears traded for dead mens
|
Fears made for the buyin'
|
|

I Ain't Marching Anymore
