BRING 'EM HOME

Live 10 May 2006 version

[Spoken intro:] This is a song for... for all the soldiers everywhere.

If you love this land of the free
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them back from overseas
Bring them home, bring them home

It will make the politicians sad, I know
Bring them home, bring them home
They wanna tangle with their foe
Bring them home, bring them home

They wanna test their grand theories
Bring them home, bring them home
With the blood of you and me
Bring them home, bring them home

We'll give no more brave young lives
Bring them home, bring them home
For the gleam in some fool's eyes
Bring them home, bring them home

The men will cheer and the boys will shout
Bring them home, bring them home
And we will all turn out
Bring them home, bring them home

The church bells will ring with joy
Bring them home, bring them home
To welcome our darling girls and boys
Bring them home, bring them home

We'll lift their voice and sound
Bring them home, bring them home
Yeah when Johnny comes marching home
Bring them home, bring them home

Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them home, bring them home

Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them home, bring them home

If you love this land of the free
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them back from overseas
Bring them home, bring them home

If you love this land of the free
Bring them home, bring them home
Bring them back from overseas
Bring them home, bring them home
