about

an homage to the old IRA song "Go On Home British Soldiers" which has been adapted by rebels around the globe.

lyrics

A
come on home, Yankee soldiers, come on home
D A E
although you may have no homes of your own
D A F#m
for 250 years, they’ve used you to spread fear
A E A
don’t let em use you for 250 more.

they sent away your dads to vietnam
under threat of draft and atomic bomb
but after long defeat, they left em broken in the streets
a generation scarred by pointless war

they sent you to iraq and afghanistan
they lied and said they had an exit plan
they took away your youth, had you bombing schools
now they want your kids to do the same

if you stay, yankee soldiers, if you stay
the oil billionaires get richer while taxpayers pay
if we were truly free, we’d fight the real enemy
not be killing folks who never did us harm
