When their sons gone to fight and lose their lives.

Induction then destruction...who wants to die? Ohhh

Ohhhh! War has shattered many a young man's dream,
Made him disabled, bitter and mean,
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days.
War can't give life, it can only take it away!

But Lord knows there's got to be a better way.
