When Ya Get Drafted lyrics

Are you believing the morning papers?

War is coming back in style

There's generals here, advisers there

And the 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 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
