Bring The Boys Home Lyrics

Fathers are pleading, lovers are all aloneMothers are prayin', send our sons
back home (tell 'em 'bout it)You marched them away, yes you did now, on ships
and planesTo a senseless war facing death in vainBring 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 downCan't you see 'em
marchin' 'cross the sky?All the soldiers that have diedTryin' to get homeCan't
you see them tryin' to get home?Tryin' to get homeThey're tryin' to get
homeCease all fire (tell 'em 'bout it) on the battlefieldEnough men have
already been wounded and killedBring 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 homeCan't you see them tryin' to get
home(Have mercy)Tryin' to get homeTryin' to get homeBring 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)
