LATE ONE NIGHT, YOU'RE GIVEN YOUR DESTINATION,
A TICKET IN YOUR HAND, WITH NO EXPLANATION,
YOU'VE GOTTA GO 'CAUSE YOUR DAD'S ALREADY BEEN,
SEE ALL THE PLACES HE TOLD YOU HE'D SEEN,
YOUR COUSIN'S ALREADY THERE, ON THE SIDE THAT'S LOSING,
THEY TOLD HIM ...
HOLD ON, HERE THEY COME NOW,
MARCHING AS TO WAR,
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH, OURS IS TO DO OR DIE,
MARCHING AS TO WAR.
TWO QUEERS IN THE CORNER REALLY PLAYING IT UP TO GET OUT OF IT,
THE GUY WHO SAYS THAT HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN, HAS JUST BEEN SICK,
SOMEONE RUNS DOWN THE CORRIDOR,
SCREAMING OUT I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE,
THE GUYS IN THE ARMY GONNA GIVE EM MORE THAN HE BARGAINED FOR,
'CAUSE WE NEED YOU ALL.
SO, HOLD ON, HERE THEY COME NOW,
MARCHING AS TO WAR,
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH, OURS IS TO DO OR DIE,
MARCHING AS TO WAR.
THE TRAIN STARTS TO SLOW, AS YOU PULL IN TO THE STATION,
GO OUT THERE BOY GO AND DEFEND YOUR NATION,
YOU GOT TO STAND AS STEADY AS A ROCK,
WHILE ALL AROUND THOSE BOMBS START TO DROP,
WHETHER YOU STAY OR RUN AWAY, WE'RE LOSING, WE'RE LOSING.
SO, HOLD ON, HERE THEY COME NOW,
MARCHING AS TO WAR,
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH, OURS IS TO DO OR DIE,
MARCHING AS TO WAR.
