Watch Out - Inti Illimani, Holly Near

Watch Out!

Watch Out!

There’s a rumble of war in the air

Watch Out!

Watch Out!

There’s a rumble of war in the air

With a man like that you never know where or when

He’s gone, he’s gone and sent in the Marines again

Some are small and frightened

Some well-seasoned men

Some are rightly scared to death

Some are feeling joy at seeing blood again

Today they recruited calmly

In a patriotic trend

Sending poor people off to war

It’s cheap cannon fodder again

Casualties seldom counted

Are the ones the guns invade

The ones who work the land, the ones

who love the land

Where dreams of peace are made
