Dead Kennedys - When Ya Get Drafted lyrics
[Dead Kennedys - When Ya Get Drafted lyrics]
Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style
There's generals here, advisors there
And the Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard's filling up with red
We make more profit's when we
Blow off their head
Economy is looking bad
Let's start another war when ya get drafted
Fan the fires of racist hatred
We want total war when ya get drafted
Drooling fingers, panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they're toys
And there's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profit's when we
Build 'em back up?
Yeah, what big business wants
Big business gets, it wants a war
When ya get drafted
Trilateral Commission goonies laugh and
Scheme for more when ya get drafted
Call the Army, call the Navy
Stocked with kids from slums
When ya get drafted
If you can't afford a slick attorney
We might make you a spy!
Forget your demonstrations
Kids today sit on their ass
When ya get drafted
Just a six pack and you're happy
We're prepared for
When ya get drafted, when ya get drafted!
War is coming back in style
There's generals here, advisors there
And the Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard's filling up with red
We make more profit's when we
Blow off their head
Economy is looking bad
Let's start another war when ya get drafted
Fan the fires of racist hatred
We want total war when ya get drafted
Drooling fingers, panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they're toys
And there's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profit's when we
Build 'em back up?
Yeah, what big business wants
Big business gets, it wants a war
When ya get drafted
Trilateral Commission goonies laugh and
Scheme for more when ya get drafted
Call the Army, call the Navy
Stocked with kids from slums
When ya get drafted
If you can't afford a slick attorney
We might make you a spy!
Forget your demonstrations
Kids today sit on their ass
When ya get drafted
Just a six pack and you're happy
We're prepared for
When ya get drafted, when ya get drafted!
