Dead Kennedys When Ya Get Drafted Lyrics

When Ya Get Drafted Lyrics

Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style
There's generals here, advisors there
And Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard's filling up with red
We make more profits when we blow off their heads 

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
There's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profits 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 as* when ya get drafted 
Just a six-pack
And you're happy
We're prepared
For when ya get drafted
