What’s Come Over This World

What's become of this nation
And the songs that they sing?
Everybody's protestin'
What's it all gonna bring?

We sang "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Forever in peace may it wave
But now some rock 'n' roll singer
Is knockin' the home of the brave

Oh, what's come over this world?
What's come over this world?
I've thought it over and I can't get over
What's come over this world?

There's an army of cowards
See them marchin' in line
While the country's in danger
They just carry a sign

Look at them burnin' their draft cards
And refusin' to fight
While they talk about freedom
They're dimmin' Liberty's light

Oh, what's come over this world?
What's come over this world?
I've thought it over and I can't get over
What's come over this world?

My brother fought in Korea
My daddy in World War II
Now there's a war in Vietnam
And there's a job we must do

"What can you do for your country?"
His words were written in blood
Those who forgot what he died for
Are draggin' the flag through the mud

Tell me, tell me
What's come over this world?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
What's come over this world?
I've thought it over and I can't get over
What's come over this world?
