Tag 738 (Tag 34) The Covered Wagon Musicians: Say No To Your War

1972

Von der CD:

"The Covered Wagon is a group of GIs from the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, who adopted their name from an Air Force security code used when coming upon suspected sabotage; hearing it, everyone is required to "unite in the face of a common enemy"—that is to say, war, racism, and injustice. The liner notes include lyrics of the songs and an in-depth description of the Covered Wagon and how they came about."

We Say No To Your War

Well we marched many miles
A million or more
But we never marched with smiles
Never smiled before

We were marching for the Air Force
When we marched before
But now we've chartered
our own course
We say no to your war

We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war
We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war

And it's hot in the desert
A hundred or more
But somehow it's quite pleasant
When you're saying no to war

We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war
We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war

And it's hotter in Vietnam
Here come the F-4s
And they're splattered with napalm
As they hear the engines roar

We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war
We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war

Nixon, we say no to your war
We say no!
Let the lifers
Be your whores
We say no!

We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war
We say no, we say no,
we say no to your war!
