When I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning
In a thousand different fights
That I ain't marchin' anymore
It's always the poor who die
Now look at all we've done with the saber and the gun
I saw money pound like bodies on the floor
Young blood started flowing
Well, it's always the old to lead us to the war
Now look how far we've come with the saber and the gun
I was there at the Little Big Horn
Now they want me back again
For I've killed my share of Indians
I ain't marchin' anymore
But I ain't marchin' anymore
It's always the young to fall
Tell me was it worth it all?
For I stole California from the Mexican land
I heard many men lying, saw many more dying
Young land started growing
Yeah, it's always the old to lead us to the war
In war and I was bound to end all wars
'Cause I saw into the hearts of the President's men
I ain't marchin' anymore
Oh, I must have killed a million men
Yeah, I even killed my brothers, so many others
But I ain't marchin' anymore
Fought in the bloody Civil War
I saw tears traded for dead mens
Tell me was it worth it all?
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
I set off the mighty mushroom roar
