Phil Ochs - Draft Dodger Rag

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
I'm just a typical American boy

From a typical American town

I believe in God and Senator Dodd

And an keepin' old Castro down



And when it came my time to serve

I knew better dead than red

But when I got to my old draft board

Buddy, this is what I said



Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen

And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat

My asthma's getting worse



Consider my career, my sweetheart dear

My poor old invalid aunt

Besides, I ain't no fool, and I'm goin' to school

And I'm workin' in a defense plant



I've got a dislocated disc and a racked up back

I'm allergic to flowers and bugs

And when the bombshell hits, I get epileptic fits

And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs



I got the weakness woes, I can't touch my toes

I can hardly reach my knees

And if the enemy ever came close to me

Well, I'd probably start to sneeze



Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen

And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat

My asthma's getting worse



Consider my career, my sweetheart dear

My poor old invalid aunt

Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school

And I'm workin' in a defense plant



I hate Chou En Lai, and I hope he dies

But I think you gotta see

That if someone's gotta go over there

That someone isn't me



So, have a ball, Sarge, watch 'em fall

Yeah, kill me a thousand or so

And if you ever get a war without any gore

Well, I'll be the first to go



Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen

And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat

My asthma's getting worse



Consider my career, my sweetheart dear

I got to water my rubber tree plant

Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school

And I'm workin' in a defense plant



Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen

And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat

My asthma's getting worse



Consider my career, my sweetheart dear

My poor old invalid aunt

Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school

And I'm workin' in a defense plant
