[00:16.007] Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans
[00:19.478] At the end of the early British wars
[00:23.698] The young land started growing
[00:25.499] The young blood started flowing
[00:27.338] But I ain't marching anymore
[00:30.776]
[00:32.791] For I've killed my share of Indians
[00:34.647] In a thousand different fights
[00:36.288] I was there at the Little Big Horn
[00:39.895] I heard many men lying, I saw many more dying
[00:43.940] But I ain't marching anymore
[00:46.816]
[00:47.500] It's always the old to lead us to the wars
[00:51.207] It's always the young to fall
[00:54.847] Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
[00:58.335] Tell me, is it worth it all?
[01:01.439]
[01:03.756] For I stole California from the Mexican land
[01:08.101] Fought in the bloody Civil War
[01:11.078] Yes, I even killed my brothers
[01:13.076] And so many others
[01:15.016] But I ain't marching anymore
[01:18.641]
[01:20.147] For I marched to the battles of the German trench
[01:23.836] In a war that was bound to end all wars
[01:27.344] Oh, I must have killed a million men
[01:29.436] And now they want me back again
[01:31.380] But I ain't marching anymore
[01:34.864]
[01:35.114] It's always the old to lead us to the wars
[01:38.617] Always the young to fall
[01:41.977] Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
[01:45.865] Tell me, is it worth it all?
[01:49.464]
[01:51.165] For I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies
[01:55.424] Set off the mighty mushroom roar
[01:58.289] When I saw the cities burning
[02:00.333] I knew that I was learning
[02:02.249] That I ain't marching anymore
[02:05.400]
[02:07.552] Now the labor leader's screamin'
[02:09.436] When they close the missile plants
[02:11.699] United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore
[02:15.287] Call it peace or call it treason
[02:17.562] Call it love or call it reason
[02:19.547] But I ain't marching anymore
[02:23.160] No, I ain't marching anymore
