When I was just a young boy, all my friends they went to war. And I just stood there asking What are you goin for? My best friend he told me, we're all boys just seventeen. Sign up now, see the world Taste it"s wine and touch it"s queens. I just stood there gasping, not a word could I say Then I caught my breath and shouted Stop come back theres another way. I said just stick out your thumbs They'll take you where you want to go. And if they dont take you, maybe you weren't supposed to go.
Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go
Seven years I come back, Back to that town I had to go To see my friends I left there See my friends what they had to show. I Seen this girl and I had to ask her Which way would the people be And she just started laughing Laughing there right at me Oooh Mmmm So I feel no pity people For the person in the war If all the people stopped fighting There would be no war no more.
