Bring The Boys Home

Fathers are pleading, lovers are all alone
Mothers are prayin', send our sons back home
Tell 'em 'bout it
You marched them away, yes, you did now, on ships and planes
To a senseless war facing death in vain

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

Can't you see 'em marchin' 'cross the sky?
All the soldiers that have died tryin' to get home
Can't you see them tryin' to get home?
Tryin' to get home, they're tryin' to get home

Cease all fire on the battlefield
Tell 'em 'bout it
Enough men have already been wounded and killed

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 home
Can't you see them tryin' to get home
Have mercy
Tryin' to get home
Tryin' to get home

Bring the boys home
Bring 'em back alive
Bring the boys home
Bring 'em back aliv
