TRIGGER WARNING: This song covers topics such as death and war, you have been warned.
This song is from the perspective of a young man during the 1970s who is about to be drafted into the Vietnam war.
(CHORUS)
END THE WAR!!!
Are we just a number to you?
To command and throw away whenever you want to
As the death tolls rise the government feeds us lies
Over 50,000 dead
When will it end?
(VERSE 1)
I guess it's not enough
Women and children are next
Take the Lai Massacre
Most disgusting thing I've ever seen
Is this the American Dream?
I think I might just scream
(Verse 2)
If this is our destiny
Then allow me to flee
I'll run away to Canada maybe they will accept me
If not, then I will shout in the streets
And march for peace
Hopefully, the Color Guards won't shoot at me
But that is just a pipe dream
(CHORUS)
END THE WAR!!!
We are just a number to you
With no value and no virtue
Death tolls rise and the government lies
Over 50,000 dead
It will never end
(LAST VERSE)
If this makes me a traitor, then what are you?
I would be a saint compared to you
Thousands dead while you pull the strings
Who the hell elected you?
Someone should put you in handcuffs and lock you up
The blood on your hands is proof enough
