[00:15:05] The orders came, the midnight rain [00:15:05] Was driving down the window pane [00:15:05] They rose like cattle, mess-kit rattle [00:15:05] Showed them green and new to battle [00:15:05] Out on the road, the mud knee-high [00:15:05] The tortured trucks were slithering by [00:15:05] Toward the ruptured, shattered sky [00:15:05] They strove. It hardly mattered why [00:15:05] We find our hero in the mud [00:15:05] We guess the fever in his blood [00:15:05] We try, as he, to laugh at this [00:15:05] The Iron Man whom bullets [00:15:05] He's right, the song has just begun [00:15:05] We'd never kill a man so young [00:15:05] He's right, the song has just begun [00:15:05] We'd never kill a man so young [00:15:05] The sergeant, how they loathed his guts [00:15:05] He led them down the waggon ruts [00:15:05] One truck is stalled, the drivers curse [00:15:05] It's either ambulance or hearse [00:15:05] The air grows foul, the heavy stench [00:15:05] Is seeping from the ancient trench [00:15:05] He takes his place and laughs at this [00:15:05] The Iron Man whom bullets miss [00:15:05] He's right, no matter how they try [00:15:05] The song's too young for him to die [00:15:05] He's right, no matter how they try [00:15:05] The song's too young for him to die [00:15:05] The orders came, the midnight rain [00:15:05] Was driving down the window pane [00:15:05] They rose like cattle, mess-kit rattle [00:15:05] Showed them green and new to battle [00:15:05] Winter came early to the house on the hill, frost, wind and snow [00:15:05] The builders looked at its unfinished frame, then turned to go [00:15:05] A small foundation, a pile of sand, a rusty hammer in a cold, cold hand [00:15:05] It wasn't a big house that they planned, but winter came early and winter came hard [00:15:05] Winter was death to the house on the hill, frost, wind and snow [00:15:05] Warped its timbers and cracked the foundations, then turned to go [00:15:05] The sketch was crumpled in a cold, cold hand. The hammer buried in the pile of sand [00:15:05] The builders' thoughts were of virgin land when winter came early and winter came hard [00:15:05] Spring was puzzled by the house on the hill, last patch of snow [00:15:05] Gave it flowers and climbing vines, then turned to go [00:15:05] Small boys played on the pile of sand, plastic weapons in their eager hands [00:15:05] It wasn't a big house that they planned, but winter came early and winter came hard [00:15:05] The young lieutenant, new to war [00:15:05] Is sick upon the trench's floor [00:15:05] The sergeant, how they cursed his head [00:15:05] Is suddenly quite cold and dead [00:15:05] The deafening explosions cease [00:15:05] The calm a cruel burlesque of peace [00:15:05] The whistle blows, the charge is made [00:15:05] The Iron Man is unafraid [00:15:05] He's right, he's young and brave and strong [00:15:05] Just the kind to fill a song [00:15:05] He's right, he's young and brave and strong [00:15:05] Just the kind to fill a song [00:15:05] The orders came, the midnight rain [00:15:05] Was driving down the window pane [00:15:05] They rose like cattle, mess-kit rattle [00:15:05] Showed them green and new to battle [00:15:05] Frost on the blankets of the strong boys' room [00:15:05] Heat for the sissies, for the prep-school pansies [00:15:05] Ice cold showers for the cool platoon [00:15:05] Once a month a card to mamma [00:15:05] Wipe that smile off and shine your brass [00:15:05] Grab your ankles and I'll give you twenty [00:15:05] Drop that rifle and I'll have your ass [00:15:05] Once a month a card to mamma [00:15:05] Play me the Taps, the quadrangle's sleeping [00:15:05] Here in his rack my roommate is weeping [00:15:05] Someone is weeping. I'll be all right [00:15:05] Goodnight. Goodnight [00:15:05] Town girls love it in the picture shows [00:15:05] Save the dances for the home-town ladies [00:15:05] Save five dollars for the one who knows [00:15:05] Once a month a card to mamma [00:15:05] Grab your ankles for the old cadets [00:15:05] Drop your trousers and you'll get what's coming [00:15:05] Is there more to this than you're quite sure of? [00:15:05] Put it in a card to mamma [00:15:05] Play me the Taps, the quadrangle's sleeping [00:15:05] Here in his rack my roommate is weeping [00:15:05] Someone is weeping. I'll be all right [00:15:05] Goodnight, goodnight! [00:15:05] Play me the Taps, the quadrangle's sleeping [00:15:05] The whistle blows. The charge is made [00:15:05] The Iron Man is unafraid [00:15:05] The young lieutenant screams out loud [00:15:05] The bullets hum like a startled crowd [00:15:05] The young lieutenant screams and falls [00:15:05] The Iron Man runs up the walls [00:15:05] And blows the enemy a kiss [00:15:05] The Iron Man whom bullets miss [00:15:05] He's right, the man whom bullets miss [00:15:05] Is meant for something more than this [00:15:05] He's right, the man whom bullets miss [00:15:05] Is meant for something more than this [00:15:05] The orders came, the midnight rain [00:15:05] Was driving down the window pane [00:15:05] They rose like cattle, mess-kit rattle [00:15:05] Showed them green and new to battle [00:15:05] Angie, from where I stand [00:15:05] The water breaks on the spit of sand [00:15:05] How does it survive? [00:15:05] Angie, for all I know [00:15:05] The sand is tired and ready to go [00:15:05] It's less than alive [00:15:05] But you, so ready to leave. The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall [00:15:05] Angie, so ready to fly. Is there time to ask why? Is there no time at all? [00:15:05] Or is there nothing hidden I can blame? [00:15:05] Angie, If Angie's your name! [00:15:05] Angie, from where I stand [00:15:05] Your smile is so discretely planned [00:15:05] I'm not sure it's there [00:15:05] Angie, for all I know [00:15:05] You'll notice me, you'll turn and go [00:15:05] You won't even care [00:15:05] That's you, so ready to leave. The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall [00:15:05] Angie, so ready to fly. Is there time to ask why? Is there no time at all? [00:15:05] Or is there nothing hidden I can blame? [00:15:05] Angie, If Angie's your name! [00:15:05] Angie, I was getting along [00:15:05] Nothing quite right, but nothing too wrong [00:15:05] I didn't know you existed [00:15:05] I ran my life like a safe machine [00:15:05] Lost myself in a safe routine [00:15:05] But now it's all twisted [00:15:05] With my hand on the knife [00:15:05] For the rest of my life [00:15:05] Angie, from where I stand [00:15:05] You rise and wave an ungloved hand [00:15:05] You smile in the sun [00:15:05] Angie, you smile for him [00:15:05] He calls to you. The light is dim [00:15:05] You break into a run [00:15:05] And you're gone. So ready to leave. The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall [00:15:05] Angie, so ready to fly. Is there time to ask why? Is there no time at all? [00:15:05] Or is there nothing hidden I can blame? [00:15:05] Angie, If Angie's your name! [00:15:05] The battered fort is ours again [00:15:05] It only cost ten-thousand men [00:15:05] And when a young lieutenant dies [00:15:05] Some survivor has to rise [00:15:05] So like a humble prayer of thanks [00:15:05] The Iron Man goes up the ranks [00:15:05] The man whom bullets miss goes far [00:15:05] He wins a kiss and wears a star [00:15:05] And he's right – a man who lives through that [00:15:05] Deserves a star upon his hat [00:15:05] He's right – a man who lives through that [00:15:05] Deserves a star upon his hat [00:15:05] And now the nation cheers his name [00:15:05] The politicians play his game [00:15:05] He's coaxed and shrewdly follows fate [00:15:05] Until he's leader of the State [00:15:05] The peace grows dull, the pace too slow [00:15:05] At last he finds convenient foe [00:15:05] The Congress balks, the galleries hiss [00:15:05] The Iron Man whom bullets miss [00:15:05] But he's right, the man whom bullets miss [00:15:05] Is meant for something more than this [00:15:05] He's right, the Generals pat their guns [00:15:05] And Congress turns and Congress runs [00:15:05] He's right, the nation shouts its thanks [00:15:05] The young men run to join the ranks [00:15:05] He's right, his name is in their blood [00:15:05] While huddling in some foreign mud 404
