"When Ya Get Drafted" lyrics
"When Ya Get Drafted"
Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style
There's generals here, advisors there
And the Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard's filling up with red
We make more profits when we blow off their head
Economy is looking bad
Let's start another war when ya get drafted
Fan the fires of racist hatred
We want total war when ya get drafted
Drooling fingers
Panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they're toys
And there's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up
Yeah, what Big Business wants Big Business gets
It wants a war when ya get drafted
Trilateral Commission goonies laugh
And scheme for more when ya get drafted
Call the Army!
Call the Navy!
Stocked with kids from slums when ya get drafted
If you can't afford a slick attorney
We might make you a spy
Forget your demonstrations
Kids today sit on their ass when ya get drafted
Just a six-pack
And you're happy
We're prepared for when ya get drafted, when ya get drafted!

It's the beginning
The ground is moist and it rained last night
Smells like smoke and it smells so clean

Crass - "So What" They ask me why I'm hateful, why I'm bad.
They tell me I got things they never had.
They tell me go to church and see the light.
Cos the good lord's always right.
So what, so what.
So what if Jesus...
Minor Threat - "Steppin' Stone" I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
