Sailors & Soldiers Lyrics - Phil Ochs

Pre>sailors and soldiers 

Uniformed shoulders 

They're growing older 

Over the sea 

 

The troops they are leaving 

Firmly believing 

No reason for greiving 

 

Far from the banners, 

Far from the glamour, 

Far from the planners, 

Who sent them to die 

 

Herded like cattle 

They head for the battle 

Their rifles will rattle 

Over the sea 

 

Too young to be shaving 

Yet the flags they are waving 

For the fury they are braving 

Over the sea 

 

Proudly parading 

With their medals they are 

But their glory is fading 

Over the sea 

 

Sailors and soldiers 

Sailors and soldiers 

Sailors and soldiers 

&c...
