"Bring Them Home" by Rich Saporito, Pittsburgh, PA USA

Call them back, don't send no more
Under attack, for a senseless war
Many have died, while others have tried
To serve with honor, of those who lied

And the Unknown Soldier cries out, from Arlington
You hear a voice resonating, in Washington
Bring them home, I'm not alone, saying bring them home

Flag on the arm, now covers their box
Sent into harm, for granite rocks
Many of tears, cried over their name
Since their gone, it's not the same

And the Unknown Soldier cries out, from Arlington
You hear a voice resonating, in Washington
Bring them home, I'm not alone, saying bring them home

And the Unknown Soldier cries out, from Arlington
You hear a voice resonating, in Washington
Bring them home, I'm not alone, saying bring them home

"Whatever Happened" by Rich Saporito, Pittsburgh, PA USA

Our National Guard has left our land, for a another shore
don't you think they're questioning, is this what we joined for
the Council on Foreign Relations, they like to stir up strife
taking children from their parents, and a husband from his wife

whatever happened to life, what ever happened to liberty
whatever happened to happiness, weren't they meant for you and me

who do they think they are, and what are they thinking of
leading us into every war, instead of following love
those warmongers beat their drums with dollar bills in their eyes
every time their lips move, you know they're telling lies

whatever happened to life, what ever happened to liberty
whatever happened to happiness, weren't they meant for you and me

they'll draft your child instantly and tell them they must fight
are they really wrong to refuse, or are they doing what's right
being used as a pond for advancement, is this your kind of game
to die for the oil on foreign soil, I can do without the fame

whatever happened to life, what ever happened to liberty
whatever happened to happiness, weren't they meant for you and me

our politician's children will never see the front lines
they'll be dancing over in Oxford, instead of fields of mines
rise up, take a stand, and put your values to the test
seek peace and pursue it, or die like all the rest

whatever happened to life, what ever happened to liberty
whatever happened to happiness, weren't they meant for you and me

whatever happened to life, what ever happened to liberty
whatever happened to happiness, weren't they meant for you and me

"No Draft" by Rich Saporito, Pittsburgh, PA USA

Hey Uncle Sam
leave me out of your killing plan
let me tell you just who I am
I'm the man you don't understand
hey Uncle Sam, hey Uncle Sam

Hey Uncle Sam
your gonna have to go it all alone
cause I aint leaving this ole home
it's where my roots are deeply sown
hey Uncle Sam, hey Uncle Sam

Hey Uncle Sam
why don't you stop the flood of blood
and grab that ole telephone
and call them all back home
hey Uncle Sam, hey Uncle Sam

Hey Uncle Sam
all them bombs in Vietnam
still didn't win that foreign war
what are you really fighting for
hey Uncle Sam, hey Uncle Sam

Hey Uncle Sam
we say no to the draft
we don't like its aftermath
were gonna take the peaceful path
hey Uncle Sam, hey Uncle Sam

We say no to the draft, no no draft
hey Uncle Sam
We say no to the draft, no no draft
hey Uncle Sam
We say no
