Текст песни 10000 Maniacs - Anthem For Doomed Youth
For whom do the bells tollWhen sentenced to die The stuttering rifles Will stifle the cry TheMonstrous anger The fear's rapid rattle A desert inferno Kids dyingLike cattle Don't tell me We're not prepared I've seen today's marineHe's eighteen and he's eager He can be quite mean No mock'ries forThem No prayers or bells The demented choirs The wailing of shells TheBoys holding candles On untraveled roads The fear spreads like fire AsShrapnel explodes I think it's wrong To conscript our youth Against( )Their will When plenty of our citizenry Really like to kill What signPosts will lead To armageddon's fires What bugles will call them FromCrowded grey shires The women sit quiet With death on their minds ASlow dusk descending The drawing of blinds Make the hunters all lineUp It's their idea of fun And let those be forgiven Who never owned aGun Was it him or me Or the wailing of the dead The laughing soldiersCast their lots And you can cut the dread
