DEAD KENNEDYS LYRICS

"When Ya Get Drafted"

Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style.
There's generals here, advisers there,
And 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.

[guitar solo]

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!
