Lyrics
[Verse] All you drunken congressmen Are getting out the vote By shipping out the youngest To war in tax-paid boats And filling up your jails with youth Who will not drink this swill You've broken all our hearts But you cannot break our wills [Chorus] You know you're gonna kill your sons You know you're gonna have to kill, kill all your sons You know you're gonna kill, kill all your sons Before they reclaim the land [Verse] The politician seethes with rage But cannot find the words To express the hatred that he feels For all the boys and girls Big businesses has different ways To take care of the waste They send our sons off overseas Blood's what they like to taste [Chorus] You know you're gonna kill your sons You know you gotta kill, kill all of your sons You know you gotta kill, kill all your sons Before they reclaim our land [Verse] Saturday, the news is war And also Sunday, too But silver days and dark fog days Is war and war to you The president and friends and vice Enjoy the things they do Those who aren't killed are jailed It's a pleasure for the few [Chorus] Don't you know you gotta kill your sons Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all of your sons Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all your sons Before they reclaim the land [Verse] "Things aren't black and white, you know," I heard an old guy say While drinking down his whiskey And eating charcoaled steak "I like what I heard the president say I think it was yesterday Kill the yellow faggots, if need be, with my own hands." [Chorus] Don't you know you gotta kill your sons Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all of your sons Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all of your sons Before they reclaim the land [Verse] Down through the age of history The young look to the old While thinking they're the wiser To have still survived the world And now they think the kids are clowns Who need more than a scold What they don't know is that the youngest of us Have already been old [Chorus] Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all of your sons Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all your sons Don't you know you gotta kill, kill all your sons Before they reclaim the land
