Willing Conscript - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
Written by:TOM PAXTON[00:00:00]
Oh sergeant I'm a draftee and I've just arrived in camp[00:00:05]
I've come to wear the uniform and join the martial tramp[00:00:10]
And I want to do my duty but one thing I do implore[00:00:14]
You must give me lessons sergeant for I've never killed before[00:00:19]
To do my job obediently is my only desire[00:00:25]
To learn my weapon thoroughly and how to aim and fire[00:00:30]
To learn to kill the enemy and then to slaughter more[00:00:35]
I'll need instruction sergeant for I've never killed before[00:00:39]
Oh there are rumors in the camp about our enemy[00:00:46]
They say that when you see him he looks just like you and me[00:00:51]
But you deny it sergeant and you are a man of war[00:00:56]
So you must give me lessons for I've never killed before[00:01:00]
Now there are several lessons that I haven't mastered yet[00:01:06]
I haven't got the hang of how to use the bayonet[00:01:11]
If he doesn't die at once am I to stick him with it more[00:01:15]
Oh I hope you will be patient for I've never killed before[00:01:20]
The hand grenade is something that I just don't understand[00:01:27]
You've got to throw it quickly or you're apt to lose your hand[00:01:31]
Does it blow a man to pieces with it's wicked muffled roar[00:01:36]
Oh I've got so much to learn because I've never killed before[00:01:41]
Oh I want to thank you sergeant for the help you've been to me[00:01:49]
For you've taught me how to slaughter and to hate the enemy[00:01:53]
And I know that I'll be ready when they march me off to war[00:01:58]
And I know that it won't matter that I've never killed before[00:02:02]
And I know that it won't matter that I've never killed before[00:02:07]
