50 Take the Toys away from the Boys
Hey you Gen'rals in the Military
What d' you need more atom bombs for?
You got enough bombs to kill us all ten times
Yet still yoy keep asking for more.
Take those toys away from the boys
Take those toys away from the boys
With those:
1) B-Fifty Two and the F.-Sixteen and the
2) SS - Twenty
3) Trident, Trident, Trident
4) Pershing, Pershing
5) Mig, Mig, Mig, Mig, Mig, Mig
6) Cruise, Cruise
7) The Neutron Bomb (repeat then back to verse).
We don't want Cruise, oh no.
hey you gen'rals in the military
we don't want a nuclear war
and all those $'s and pence you spend on defence
could feed and clothe all the poor in the world.
