"Asking it All" - An anti-war song by my dad

[Catch22Dem]

He sounds kinda like Steve Earle, at least I've always thought so. This wasn't written about the current war, but the message is the same.

come on boys now listen to me
they’re looking for young men like you
the country’s in a fix and there’s just one way out
so they’re calling on you

Your sacrifice will make it better
for everyone but you
and if you’re lost it won’t really matter
there’s plenty more like you

rockets red glare
bursting bombs in the air
what a life to lead
you might go down in history

join up, it’s an adventure
be one of the few
and if you’re lucky and you live through it
they’ll pin a medal on you

rockets red glare
bursting bombs in the air
what a life to lead
you might go down in history

come on boys now listen to me
they’re looking for young men like you
when the country’s in a fix there’s just one way out
they’re asking it all from you
asking it all from you
asking I tall from you
