Testo Draft Dodger Rag - Phil Ochs
Testo della canzone Draft Dodger Rag (Phil Ochs), tratta dall'album Live At Newport (Live)
Oh, I'm just a typical American boy
From a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Dodd
And in keeping old Castro down
And when it came my time to serve
I knew better dead than red
But when I got to my old draft board
Buddy, this is what I said
Sarge, I'm only eighteen
I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat
And my feet are flat
And my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career
My sweetheart dear
My poor old invalid aunt
Besides, I ain't no fool
I'm a-goin' to school
And I'm a-workin' in a defense plant
I got a dislocated disc
And a racked up back
I'm allergic to flowers and bugs
And when the bombshell hits
I get epileptic fits
And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs
I got the weakness woes
I can't touch my toes
I can hardly reach my knees
And if the enemy came close to me
Oh, I'd probably start to sneeze
Yes, I'm only eighteen
I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat
And my feet are flat
And my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career
My sweetheart dear
My poor old invalid aunt
Besides, I ain't no fool
I'm a-goin' to school
And I'm a-workin' in a defense plant
I hate John Lard and I hope he dies
But one thing you gotta see
That someone's gotta go over there
And that someone isn't me
So I wish you well, Sarge, give 'em hell
Kill thee a thousand or so
And if you ever get a war without blood and gore
I'll be the first to go
Yes, I'm only eighteen
I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat
And my feet are flat
And my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career
My sweetheart dear
My poor old invalid aunt
Besides, I ain't no fool
I'm a-goin' to school
And I'm a-workin' in a defense plant
