Young man don’t you follow, don’t you head the call.
Wars resolve nothing, only destroy.
Look around you and see what it’s done to your world.
What it’s done to our children before they are born.
High and mighty men profess with their words.
They’ll try to incite you to march off to war.
These men of high power, like Judas for silver
Their deals and treaties will sign with your blood.
They’ll point with their fingers, they’ll point with their guns,
They’ll point with their forked tongues, they’ll point with their words.
They’ll tell you to follow and kill for their cause.
Young man don’t you follow, please don’t head the call.
Young man don’t you follow when they call out your name.
Wars only leave you with a wall full of names.
Look around you and see what it’s done to your world.
What it’s done to our children before they are born.
Look around you and see what it’s done to our world.
What it’s done to our child before it is born.
Young man don’t you follow, don’t you head the call.
