you�ve joined the army, have you son
to learn to march and fire a gun 
and soon you'll wear a suit so grand 
and show the world that you�re a man 
     but what�s a man ? 
     is it something that lives without feeling
     that destroys its own kind without thinking
     and through darkness and misunderstanding 
could destroy itself protecting what it thinks is right

you say it�s part of getting older 
to serve your country as a soldier 
and travel anywhere and fight there 
and show the people what is right there 
     but what is right ? 
     is it right for a man to be living 
     in a slum just because his skin isn�t white 
     will your mothers and sisters be forgiving 
all the things you did defending what you think is right

you can�t imagine what i�m thinking 
we�ve got to fight them while they�re small 
or their disease will soon be spreading 
and then we�ll never kill them all 
     but must we kill ? 
     and did you know, my friend, that by killing 
     you�re committing all mankind�s most selfish sin 
     while the death rates and tax rates are rising 
     we must learn to make our country stronger from within
