War babies torn from the war-time womb
Raised in a rented room why are you cryin'
War babies brought up to laugh at jokes
Bout certain groups of folks why do you cry
Why do you cry child of the times
What's under your skin what's in your mind
War babies you've got your Japanese toys
And you've got your British noise so why do you cry
Pray ev'ry night down on your knees
You won't have to fight other war babies
War babies get up and fix your eggs
Moma is still in bed run on to Sunday school
And stay for church services
And you don't slam the door war babies
Now how many times now how many times
How many times will you all hear these lies
Oh where have we failed you what in the world ails you
Will you dry your eyes go wash your face and stay in your place
You're just a disgrace war baby
