[Verse 1]
Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style
There's generals here, advisors there
And the Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard's filling up with red
We make more profits when we blow off their head

[Chorus]
Economy is looking bad
Let's start another war (When ya get drafted)
Fan the fires of racist hatred
We want total war (When ya get drafted)

[Verse 2]
Drooling fingers, panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they're toys
And there's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up?

[Chorus]
Yeah, what big business wants, big business gets
It wants a war (When ya get drafted)
Trilateral Commission goonies laugh
And scheme for more (When ya get drafted)
Call the Army! Call the Navy!
Stocked with kids from slums (When ya get drafted)
If you can't afford a slick attorney
We might make you a spy
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Forget your demonstrations
Kids today sit on their ass (When ya get drafted)
Just a six-pack and you're happy
We're prepared for when ya get drafted, when ya get drafted!
