"Lysistrata" lyrics
"Lysistrata"
Lysistrata, open up the bedroom door
What is the matter, ain't you in love with me no more?
I enlisted in the army today
One more time before I march away
Make me feel like a big strong man
You say you don't care about my pride
You love me too much just to let me die
And you won't let me come inside
Unless I don't go to war no more
Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun
And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun
Every able bodied man that I know
Every patriot is packed to go
Won't you give me a last goodbye
I'll be sent off to a distant land
To spill my blood upon some foreign sand
And I may die by an enemy's hand
And then I won't go to war no more
Won't go to war, no
Then I won't go to war no more
Send the boys all back to the farm
Tell the troops it was a false alarm
'Cause if I die I wanna be in your arms
And so I won't go to war, no, I won't go to war
Said I won't go to war no more
