Watch out !

Holly Near, 1984

Chanson reprise au moment de la guerre du Golfe. « Fais-gaffe, il y a une rumeur de guerre dans l’air ».
Nous ne chantons pas le couplet "Today ..."

Watch Out ! Watch Out !
There’s a rumble of war in the air.
Watch Out ! Watch Out !
There’s a rumble of war in the air.
With a man like that you never know
Just where or when
He’s gone, he’s gone and sent in the
Marines again.

Some are small and frightened,
Some well-seasoned men,
Some are rightly scared to death,
Some are feeling joy at seeing blood again.

Today they recruited calmly,
In a patriotic trend.
Sending poor people off to war,
it’s cheap cannon fodder again.

Casualties seldom counted
Are the ones the guns invade
The ones who work the land, the ones
who love the land
Where dreams of peace are made.
