Anthem For Doomed Youth (Lombardo/owen) For Whom Do the 
Bells Toll
When Sentenced to Die the Stuttering Rifles Will Stifle the
 Cry The
Monstrous Anger the Fear's Rapid Rattle a Desert Inferno 
Kids Dying
Like Cattle Don't Tell Me We're Not Prepared I've Seen 
Today's Marine
He's Eighteen and He's Eager He Can Be Quite Mean no 
Mock'ries For
Them no Prayers Or Bells the Demented Choirs the Wailing of
 Shells The
Boys Holding Candles On Untraveled Roads the Fear Spreads 
Like Fire As
Shrapnel Explodes I Think It's Wrong to Conscript Our Youth
 Against
Their Will When Plenty of Our Citizenry Really Like to Kill
 What Sign
Posts Will Lead to Armageddon's Fires What Bugles Will Call
 Them From
Crowded Grey Shires the Women Sit Quiet With Death On Their
 Minds A
Slow Dusk Descending the Drawing of Blinds Make the Hunters
 All Line
Up It's Their Idea of Fun and Let Those Be Forgiven Who 
Never Owned A
Gun Was It Him Or Me Or the Wailing of the Dead the 
Laughing Soldiers
Cast Their Lots and You Can Cut the Dread.
