Moratorium

Moratorium - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Captain Collier came home he's been fighting the war

And I guess he thought he'd be hailed as a hero and more

And he walked down the streets of the old home town

And he saw how it is around here now

Now Captain Collier had to call

Far too many girls for a date that night

All the girls had gone out

With their long haired boys Captain Collier he cried

Well What the hell have I been fighting for

Oh shoter it's for you

We wanna bring you home

We wanna hold you in our arms

Come back and keep us warm

P F C Mannie Stein

Had been drafted and gone

He'd been told that only cowards would say no

He came home and called some old friends

They'd resisted the draft

And they both were in prison

And their wifes and their kids

Were all skinny and having a bad time

And P F C Stein

He remembered the men

Called political prisoners you know where and when

And he learned that the lines are tapped all the time now

And he's wondering if maybe his braves is needed at home now

Yes soldier we're afraid

We're not just being fools

We're gassed and beaten here at home

We've got to change the rules

Corp'ral Thomas McCann

Is a three year marine

Someone told him he'd better join up

It would would make him a man

He came home and to the park he went

And he sat down on a bench

And a dungaree girl told him he'd been a man all along

And he looked at the sign that she carried in her hand

It said F**k the war and bring our brothers home

And corp'ral McCann he looks into her eyes

And I believe that he's begun to understand now

Oh soldier It's for you

We wonna bring you home

We need you to support us here

Come back and lie down

Hey bring our brothers home

Hey bring our brothers home

Hey bring our brothers home

Hey bring our brothers home

Hey bring our brothers home
