different war, same tune
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
Serve your country in her suicide
Find the flags so you can wave goodbye
But just before the end even treason might be worth a try
This country is to young to die
I declare the war is over
It’s over, it’s over
-- War is Over, Phil Ochs
He wrote the song during the Vietnam War, but every word rings true today.
The war might be over, but the civil war is just beginning.
