Over There Lyrics
All right, pure delight
To see you stand in all your glory
Oh the joys when your boys
Hit distant soil
And I hope to try
To answer those who criticize you
Lead the sheep in their sleep
To slaughter
Won't abide, pushed aside
Let me know when you've decided
I'll decline when the sign
says "Over There"
Your game has a name
Force and fury, fact and fiction
Sound the call, and the walls
Will tumble
All right, pure delight
To see you stand in all your glory
Oh the joys when your boys
Hit distant soil
Won't abide, pushed aside
Let me know when you've decided
I'll decline when the sign
says "Over There"
To see you stand in all your glory
Oh the joys when your boys
Hit distant soil
To answer those who criticize you
Lead the sheep in their sleep
To slaughter
Let me know when you've decided
I'll decline when the sign
says "Over There"
Force and fury, fact and fiction
Sound the call, and the walls
Will tumble
To see you stand in all your glory
Oh the joys when your boys
Hit distant soil
Let me know when you've decided
I'll decline when the sign
says "Over There"

This song is a reply to an equally titled older song praising the troops going to war. The song is a sort of anti-war statement that denies the praise or glory of those going to war, instead stating there is no pride or glory in war. It's a bit of a peace anthem, based on reversing an older song that was somehow praising the military. The song is definitely intended as an anti-war song.
