lyrics

College kids around the country
Say that for their hard earned money
They should at least feel safe in the place they live
But seventy years ago
Eighteen year olds stood, exposed
So bold, so brave, and with their lives to give.

We’ll pack you up and ship you out,
Overseas there’ll be no doubt
You’ll toughen up and start to learn your place.
You will scream and you will cry
You will see your best friends die
But don’t you know going to war is great

Cause education so it seems
Takes a back seat to killing human beings
That don’t blindly support a scrap of fabric
So if you want to make something of yourself
Without having been born into wealth
Just shoot our enemies with your automatic

We’ll pack you up and ship you out,
Overseas there’ll be no doubt
You’ll toughen up and start to learn your place.
You will scream and you will cry
You will see your best friends die
But don’t you know going to war is great

about

A Bird Among Men Bath, Maine

ABAM is Robyn Crews and I make
tongue in cheek, self deprecating folk punk from mid-coast Maine!

I started this project because I don't have enough friends to make a real punk band.
