duck & cover in the tower of babel

train your children to sit under tables

a warm rain but a chill in the air

can't they tell that there's people down there?



forward as one

not marching as to war

forward as one

not marching as to war

forward as one, forward as one

forward as one

not marching as to war



i have a father & he fought in the jungle

he lost a brother, so i lost an uncle

life's a gas, hah!, life's a scream

in the army, navy, airforce, marines



forward as one

not marching as to war

forward as one

not marching as to war

hear the officer "hup two three..."

forward as one forward as one

forward as one

not marching as to war



either you like it or you don't

but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down

either you like it or you don't

but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down



all around you under curfew

people see but minds are shattered

hypnotized & disillusioned

watch the times now, more confusion

on the streets there's escalation

stop, think, what could happen?

turn around but keep your mind on

either you like it or you don't

but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down

either you like it or you don't

but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down



law & order, natural order

obviously out of order

what's to come of my generation?

give the thought some huh! penetration

on the streets there's escalation

conscription soon take over

join the army be a soldier

what's the fight for, law & order?



either you like it or you don't
