?Is anybody listening

The day is comin
the drums are drummin
If you know one say a prayer.
There's mother's cryin
and father's sighin, uh hum
War is in the air.

The trains are fillin up with boys,
They've left behind their favorite toys.

Over there
Where someone has to die

Over there, over there
Where ours is not to reason why.
Over there, over there
Where someone has to die.
