NOT MY WAR

Eve of Destruction

"You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin'"

"Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,

And marches alone can't bring integration"

"You play with my world like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand & you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly"

"You fasten the triggers for the others to fire

Then you set back & watch when the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansion as young people’s blood

Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud"

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh they're red, white and blue

And when the band plays Hail to the Chief
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord"

"It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son"
