In 1942,
43,
and 44,
our country was fighting in the Second World War.
The world was scarred and battle-worn,
but still
there were babies being born.
War baby,
war baby,
war is all you know.
War baby,
war baby,
where did your daddy go?
51,
52,
and 53. There were people being denied
their freedom and liberty,
so our country
gave
them a helping hand,
and the war babies seemed
to understand.
War baby,
war baby,
war is all you know.
War baby,
war baby,
where did your brother go?
Now in 1967,
war baby
is a man.
Another defenseless country
is fighting
for their land.
So again,
our country marched off to war.
But the war baby's not a baby anymore.
War baby,
war baby,
war is all you know.
War baby,
war baby.
