Fathers are pleading
Lovers are all alone
Mothers are prayin
Send our sons back home
Oh you marched them away
On ships and planes
To a senseless war
Facing death in vain

-Chorus-[x4]
Bring the boys home
Bring them back alive

Turn the ships around
Lay your weapons down

Can't you see them marchin across the sky
All the soldiers that have died
Trying to get home
Can't you see them trying to get home
Tryin to get home
Tryin to get home

Cease all fire
On the battlefield
Enough men have already
Been wounded and killed

-Chorus-[x4]
Bring the boys home
Bring them back alive

Turn the ships around
Lay your weapons down

-Break-
Ya ha ha ya, ya ha ha ya
Trying to get home[x4]

-Chorus-[x4]
Bring the boys home
Bring them back alive

Whater they doin over there now
When we need 'em over here now
What they doin over there now
When we need them over here now
Bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em home
(bring them back alive)
Bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em home
(bring them back alive)
Bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em back back home
(bring them back alive)
Bring the boys home
(bring them back alive)
