Phil Ochs

Is there anybody here who'd like to change his clothes into a uniform

Is there anybody here who thinks they're only serving on a raging storm

Is there anybody here with glory in their eyes

loyal to the end, whose duty is to die

I wanna see him

I wanna wish him luck

I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name

Put a medal on the man.

Is there anybody here who'd like to wrap a flag around an early grave

Is there anybody here who thinks they're standing taller on a battle wave

Is there anybody here like to do his part

soldier to the world and a hero to his heart

I wanna see him

I wanna wish him luck

I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name

Put a medal on the man

Is there anybody here proud of the parade

who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid

I'd like like to ask him what he's trying to defend

Oh I'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win

Is there anybody here who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame

Is there anybody here who wouldn't mind a murder by another name

Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line

with the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind

I wanna see him

I wanna wish him luck

I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name

Put a medal on the man

Is there anybody here so proud of the parade

who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid

I'd like to ask him what he's trying to defend

I'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win

Is there anybody here who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame

Is there anybody here who wouldn't mind a murder by another name

Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line

with the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind

I wanna see him

I wanna wish him luck

I wanna shake his hand, ganna call his name

Put a medal on the man

Medal on the man
