Lyrics
In ’69 the headlines said recruits on the decline
They said it’s time to send more to the frontline
Conscription we want to shun
Selective Service System
Don’t draft me
Calling me on TV, numbers choose my destiny
It’s robbery, no-one wants to win this lottery
Still too young to drink wine
But old enough for doing time
Don’t draft me
The decision, the mission, stamp out communism
In a country full of peasant citizens
Genocide? Corporate lies?
Or just neuroticism?
Don’t draft me
Mama, don’t make me go to war
What are we fighting for?
I don’t wanna go to war
They’re banging on our door
Wanting me to go to war
Nothing to be fighting for
We don’t need another war
Please don’t make me go
Oh, no no no no no
Whoa-oh, no no no no no
Rich family or a degree, so which one are you blessed to be?
Stay home and free, LSD, smoking weed
They take us poor, working class
And induct us en masse
Don’t draft me!
Mama, don’t make me go to war
What are we fighting for?
I don’t wanna go to war
They’re banging on our door
Wanting me to go to war
Nothing to be fighting for
We don’t need another war
Please don’t make me go
Oh, no no no no no
Whoa-oh, no no no no no
