duck & cover in the tower of babel

train your children to sit under tables

a warm rain but a chill in the air

can't they tell that there's people down there? 



forward as one

not marching as to war

forward as one

not marching as to war

forward as one, forward as one 

forward as one

not marching as to war 



i have a father & he fought in the jungle

he lost a brother, so i lost an uncle

life's a gas, hah!, life's a scream

in the army, navy, airforce, marines 



forward as one

not marching as to war

forward as one

not marching as to war

hear the officer "hup two three..."

forward as one forward as one 

forward as one

not marching as to war 



either you like it or you don't

all around you under curfew

hypnotized & disillusioned

either you like it or you don't

either you like it or you don't

but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down 



law & order, natural order

obviously out of order

what's to come of my generation?

give the thought some huh! penetration

on the streets there's escalation

what's the fight for, law & order?
