I Ain't Marching AnymorePhil OchsWritten by Phil Ochs and Bob GibsonOh, I marched to the battle of New OrleansAt the end of the early British warThe young land started growin'The young blood started flowin'But I ain't a-marchin' anymoreBut I've killed my share of InjunsIn a thousand different fightsI was there at the Little Big HornI saw many men lyin'I saw many more dyin'But I ain't a-marchin' anymore CHORUS It's always the old to lead us to the war Always the young to fall Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun Tell me, is it worth it allFor I stole California from the Mexican landFought in the bloody Civil WarYes I even killed my brothersAnd so many othersBut I ain't a-marchin' anymoreFor I marched to the battles of the German trenchIn a war that was bound to end all warsOh, I must have killed a million menAnd now they want me back againBut I ain't a-marchin' anymore CHORUSFor I flew the final mission in the Japanese skySet off the mighty mushroom roarWhen I saw the cities burnin'I knew that I was learnin'That I ain't a-marchin' anymoreNow the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plantsUnited Fruit screams at the Cuban shoreCall it "Peace" or call it "Treason"Call it "Love" or call it "Reason"But I ain't a-marchin' any more.No, I ain't a-marchin' any more
