Lyric Bring the Boys Home

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)
