David Rovics - The Draft Is Coming Lyrics:

Lyrics to The Draft Is Coming by David Rovics: Correct These Lyrics



The draft is coming

It's blowing down the door

So pack your bags, boys and girls

We're all going off to war



You can be the next to die for Halliburton

Pull the cord, drape the flag and draw the curtain

You can pull the trigger for the Exxon Corporation

Watch the cities burn around you while you're standing at your station

You can shoot the children as they throw stones at your Humvee

And you can die for Kerry or maybe for Dick Cheney



(Chorus)



When your tours are over and you come back

Maybe you can go to college if you survive Iraq

With DU dust in your lungs you can learn a trade

In your dying years you'll have it made

And when you're coughing up your last breath beneath the overpass

You'll be praying for the fortunes of the military brass



(Chorus)



But you can be happy about the cause for which you died

At least you fought for freedom unlike the other side

They were setting off car bombs while you dropped them from the sky

You sold the country off to whatever company would buy

Shut their papers down and shot them for their liberty

So as you die you know you left the world a bit more free



(Chorus)



Yes you can die for oil and watch history repeat

Fight for empire in the desert and go down in defeat

Or maybe it could happen that now in the second round

We will take the struggle higher and this time hear the sound

Of the chimes of freedom ringing when we take Washington, DC

'Cause opportunity is knocking, oh say, can you see



(Chorus)
