Anthem For Doomed Youth - 10,000 Maniacs[00:00:00]

For whom the bells toll[00:00:13]

When sentenced to die[00:00:15]

The stuttering rifles[00:00:16]

Will stifle the cry[00:00:18]

The monstrous anger[00:00:19]

The fear's rapid rattle[00:00:21]

A desert inferno[00:00:23]

Kids dying like cattle[00:00:24]

Don't tell me[00:00:32]

We're not prepared[00:00:33]

I've seen today's marine[00:00:36]

He's eighteen and he's eager[00:00:38]

He can be quite mean[00:00:42]

No mock'ries for them[00:00:45]

No prayers or bells[00:00:47]

The demented choirs[00:00:48]

The wailing of shells[00:00:50]

The boys holding candles[00:00:51]

On untraveled roads[00:00:53]

The fear spreads like fire[00:00:55]

As shrapnel explodes[00:00:56]

I think it's wrong[00:01:04]

To conscript our youth[00:01:05]

Against their will[00:01:08]

When plenty of our citizenry[00:01:10]

Really like to kill[00:01:14]

What sign posts will lead[00:01:57]

To armageddon's fires[00:01:58]

What bugles will call them[00:02:00]

From crowded grey shires[00:02:02]

The women sit quiet[00:02:03]

With death on their minds[00:02:05]

A slow dusk descending[00:02:07]

The drawing of blinds[00:02:08]

Make the hunters all line up[00:02:16]

It's their idea of fun[00:02:19]

And let those be forgiven[00:02:22]

Who never owned a gun[00:02:25]

Was it him or me[00:02:29]

Or the wailing of the dead[00:02:31]

The laughing soldiers[00:02:34]

Cast their lots[00:02:36]

And you can cut the dread[00:02:38]
