Graham Nash - Military Madness

I do not own rights to this song .

Lyrics:

In an upstairs room in Blackpool
By the side of a northern sea
The army had my father
And my mother was having me
Military Madness was killing my country
Solitary Sadness comes over me

After the school was over and I moved
To the other side
I found a different country but I never
Lost my pride
Military Madness was killing the country
Solitary sadness creeps over me

And after the wars are over
And the body count is finally filed
I hope that The Man discovers
What's driving the people wild
Military madness is killing your country
So much sadness, between you and me
War, War, War, War, War, War

Just doesn't get enough air time! I heard it being played in an artisan store last night. It had been years since I last heard it. Good for the soul.

@Sgtwack62 Th is song is about the Military Industrial Complex and is against war.

[harlanles]

If you don't agree with this you must be brain dead! This song has nothing to do with the brave people in the military protecting our freedoms. It is about the greedy men who want to make money on the war machine....
