This Isn't What the Governmeant

Annotation by Justin A. Brummer

Lyrics

English: "Then the war , don't know what for / Somebody said it had to be fought / I'se supposed to go but I said no / 'Cause I'se afraid I might get shot / But here I am on my hands and knees / Scrubbin' in my dungarees / I got burned but I finally learned / This isn't what the 'governmeant'"
