Hurrah for the War Where are you sending me, With my uniform & cap, & why are you crying, With that flag on your lap? We are so proud, you died for the cause. You should not complain for upholding the laws. So sing hurrah for the war & be proud that you’re dead. You’re the envy of all, With a stone at your head. When I was a child, You promised me more. You never said I should die in a war. Hush now, Be quiet my son. All the matters Is the war is won. So sing hurrah for the war & be proud that you’re dead. Some words are too sad, & should never be said. -Terry Young
