Buffy Sainte-Marie "Moratorium" Lyrics

Captain Carter came home

he'd been fighting the war

and i guessed he thought he'd

return as a hero and more

And he walked down the street

Saw the old home town

and he saw how it is around HERE now

well captain carter had to call

far too many girls

for a date that night

see, all the girls had gone out

with all their long-haird boys...

Captain carter he cried,

"...well what the HELL have i been fighting for?!"

Oh, soldier, it's for you

We wanna bring you home

We wanna hold you in our arms

come back, and keep us warm!

He had seen many stine

had been drafted and gone

he'd been told that only cowards

would say, "no!"

He came home and called

some old friends

they resisted the draft

and they both were in prision

and their wives and their kids

were all skinny and havin' a bath time!

And PFC stine... he remembered the men

called political prisoners

You know where and when

And he learned that the lines

are tapped all the time, now

and he's wondering if maybe

his bravery's needed at HOME now!

Yes, soldier, we're afraid

We're not just bein' fools

We're gased and beatin... here at HOME!

We've got to change the rules!

Carter thomas Mchan

as a three-year marine

someone told him he better join up

it would make him a man

he came home and to the park he went

and he sat down on a bench

and a gumbery girl told him,

He'd been a man all along

and he looked at the sign...

that she carried in her hand...

It said, "FUCK the war and bring our brothers home!!!"

And Carter Mchan, he looks

into her eyes...

and i beleive that he's

begun to understand now

Oh, soldier, it's for you

we wanna bring you home

we need you to support us HERE

come back and lend an arm

Hey, bring our brothers home

Hey, bring our brothers home

Hey, bring our brothers HOME!!

Hey, bring our brothers HOME!!

Hey, bring our brothers home...
