I Ain’t Marching Anymore

[Verse 1]
Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British war
A young land started growing
A young blood started flowing
But I ain't marching anymore

[Verse 2]
For I've killed my share of Indians
In a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men a-lying, I saw many more a-dying
And I ain't marching anymore

[Bridge]
It's always the old to lead us to the wars
Always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me was it worth it all?

[Verse 3]
For I stole California from the Mexican lands
And I fought in the bloody Civil War
Yes, I evеn killed my brothers
And so many others
So I ain't marching anymorе

[Verse 4]
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all wars
And I must have killed a million men
And now they want me back again
But I ain't marching anymore

[Bridge]
It's always the old to lead us to the wars
Always the young to fall
Look at all we've done with the saber and the gun
Tell me was it worth it all?

[Verse 5]
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies
And I set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw their cities burning I knew that I was learning
That I ain't marching anymore

[Verse 6]
Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore
Call it peace or call it treason
Call it love or call it reason
But I ain't marching anymore
