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 a senseless war facing death in vain
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 on the battlefield Tell 'em 'bout it Enough men have already been wounded and killed
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 aliv
