Bring the Boys Home — текст песни (Freda Payne)

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 the senseless war facing death in vain

Bring the boys home (bring `em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring `em back alive)
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 (tell `em `bout it) on the battlefield
Enough men have already been wounded and killed

Bring the boys home (bring `em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring `em back alive)
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 alive)
Bring the boys home (bring `em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring `em back alive)

What they doin` over there now (bring `em back alive)
When we need `em over here now? (bring `em back alive)
What they doin` over there now (bring `em back alive)
When we need `em over here now? (bring `em back alive)
Bring `em all, bring `em all home (bring `em back alive)
Bring `em all, bring `em home now (bring `em back alive)
(fade out)
