My Brother is a Marine
Ring out the war because it's bad,
Ring in the peace because it's good
Be nice to people if you would, or else be sad.
I am, are you, if not you should!
It's time for them to leave us alone,
Please come home safe I beg of you
and you and you and you.
Ring out the war because its bad,
Ring in the peace because its good.
Be nice to people if you would or else be sad.
I am, are you? If not, you should.
