Phil Ochs
Is there anybody here who`d like to change his clothes into a uniform
Is there anybody here who thinks they`re only serving on a raging storm
Is there anybody here with glory in their eyes
loyal to the end, whose duty is to die
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man.
Is there anybody here who`d like to wrap a flag around an early grave
Is there anybody here who thinks they`re standing taller on a battle wave
Is there anybody here like to do his part
soldier to the world and a hero to his heart
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Is there anybody here proud of the parade
who`d like to give a cheer and show they`re not afraid
I`d like like to ask him what he`s trying to defend
Oh I`d like to ask him what he thinks he`s gonna win
Is there anybody here who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame
Is there anybody here who wouldn`t mind a murder by another name
Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line
with the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Is there anybody here so proud of the parade
who`d like to give a cheer and show they`re not afraid
I`d like to ask him what he`s trying to defend
I`d like to ask him what he thinks he`s gonna win
Is there anybody here who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame
Is there anybody here who wouldn`t mind a murder by another name
Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line
with the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, ganna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Medal on the man
