When Ya Get Drafted - Dead Kennedys

Are you believing the morning papers?

War is coming back in style

There’s generals here, advisors there, and Russians nibbling everywhere

The chessboard’s filling up with red, we make more profits when we blow off

their heads

Economy is looking bad, let’s start another war (When ya get drafted!)

Fan the fires of racist hatred, we want total war (When ya get drafted!)

Drooling fingers, panic buttons

Playing with missiles like they’re toys

There’s easy money, easy jobs especially when you build the bombs that blow big

cities off the map

Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up?

Yeah, what Big Business wants Big Business gets, it wants a war (When ya get

drafted!)

Trilateral Commission goonies laugh and scheme for more (When ya get drafted!)

Call the Army, call the Navy, stocked with kids from slums (When ya get drafted!

If you can’t afford a slick attorney, we might make you a spy!

Forget your demonstrations, kids today sit on their ass (When ya get drafted!)

Just a six-pack and you’re happy, we’re prepared for when ya get drafted

When ya get drafted!
