Where have all the young men gone?
Theyre leaving town one-by-one
Johnny come and get your gun
Father give your on-ly son
Fearlessly they lay down their lives
Son dont be afraid to die
Youre fighting for the land that you love
Yeah, yeah, fighting for your god up above
When the bullets fall upon you like rain
And the starry night is burst into flame
Remember youre the few, youre the brave
Remember what youre fighting to save
I know, youll be coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobodys winning when its life we have to lose
I know, youll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
Victory can be bittersweet
Insurrection in the street
It never comes without a price
And never without sacriface
The suicidal bombs in their cars
Wrap em up in stripes and stars
Johnny boy is comin home
For a soldiers burial
When the bullets fall around you like rain
And the starry night is burst into flame
Remember youre the few, youre the brave
Remember what youre fighting to save
I know youll be coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobodys winning when its life we have to lose
I know, youll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
I know youll be coming home soon. coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobodys winning when its life we have to lose
I know, youll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
Coming home soon
