Prelude in H Sharp
War-protest folksong from 1980. So much has changed since then!
With a marching beat
1.
E
Whatcha gonna do about it,
Whatcha gonna do,
When the army of America
D
is comin' after you?
D
Whatcha gonna do about it,
Whatcha gonna say,
When people from the draft board
E
try to send you far away?
2.
E
Whatcha gonna think about it,
How you gonna feel,
When they argue that your draft
D
resistance simply isn't real?
D
Whatcha gonna do about it,
Where you gonna go,
If Canada won't take you
E
and the prisons overflow?
3.
E
Wouldja fight in Israel
Or go defend Iran,
Or some supposed vital interest
D
in Afghanistan?
D
Deadly germs and killer gas
And anti-matter ray,
Giant solar microwaves
E
and mutant DNA...
4.
E
We can fire lazer beams
And drop a neutron bomb,
All the weapons that we didn't
D
have for Viet Nam.
D
Each war they say is diff'rent
But the people die the same.
Next time they give a war
they'll say that
C B E
everybody came!
