Phil Ochs — I Aint Marching Anymore Electric

[Verse 1] Oh, I marched to the Battle of New Orleans At the end of the early British war A young land started growing The young blood started flowing But I ain't a-marching anymore [Verse 2] For I killed my share of Injuns In a thousand different fights I was there at the Little Big Horn I saw many men a-lyin' I saw many more a-dyin' But I ain't a-marching anymore [Bridge] It's always the old to lead us to the war Always the young to fall Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun Tell me is it worth it all? [Verse 3] For I stole California from the Mexican land Fought in the bloody Civil War Yes, I even killed my brothers And so many others But I ain't a-marching anymore [Verse 4] For I marched to the battles of the German trench In a war that was bound to end all wars Oh, I must have killed a million men And now they want me back again But I ain't a-marching anymore [Bridge] It's always the old to lead us to the war Always the young to fall Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun Tell me is it worth it all? [Verse 5] For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky Set off the mighty mushroom roar When I saw the cities burnin' I knew that I was learnin' That I ain't a-marching anymore [Verse 6] Now the labor leader's screamin' When they close the missile plant United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore Call it peace or call it treason Call it love or call it reason But I ain't a-marching anymore No, I ain't a-marching anymore
