letra de draft dodger rag (live) - phil ochs
[intro]
draft dodger rag. whee-hoo!
[verse 1]
oh, i’m just a typical american boy
from a typical american town
i believe in god and senator dodd
and in keepin’ old castro down
and when it came my time to serve
i knew “better dead than red”
but when i got to my old draft board
buddy, this is what i said
[chorus]
sarge, i’m only eighteen, i got a ruptured spleen
and i always carry a purse
i’ve got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat
and my asthma’s getting worse
yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear
and my poor old invalid aunt
besides i ain’t no fool, i’m a-goin’ to school
and i’m working in a defense plant
[verse 2]
i’ve got a dislocated disc and a wracked up back
i’m allergic to flowers and bugs
and when the bombsh-ll hits, i get epileptic fits
and i’m addicted to a thousand drugs
i got the weakness woes, i can’t touch my toes
i can hardly reach my knees
and if the enemy came close to me
why i’d probably start to sneeze
[chorus]
yes, i’m only eighteen, i got a ruptured spleen
and i always carry a purse
i’ve got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat
and my asthma’s getting worse
yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear
and my poor old invalid aunt
besides, i ain’t no fool, i’m a-goin’ to school
and i’m working in a defense plant
[verse 3]
i hate chou en lai, and i hope he dies
but one thing you gotta see
that someone’s gotta go over there
and that someone isn’t me
so i wish you well, sarge, give ’em h-ll
k!ll me a thousand or so
and if you ever get a war without blood and gore
i’ll be the first to go
[chorus]
yes, i’m only eighteen, i got a ruptured spleen
and i always carry a purse
i’ve got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat
and my asthma’s getting worse
yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear
and my poor old invalid aunt
besides, i ain’t no fool, i’m a-goin’ to school
and i’m working in a defense plant
