All Quiet on the Western Front

Lyrics
[Verse 1] The oil is flowing in the ocean so blue The people are crazy, they don't know what to do And the famines will follow the freeways so new And it's all, all quiet on the Western front [Verse 2] The murdering missiles they point to the sky The loyal townspeople are ready to die And it's ever so lonely to live with a lie And it's all, all quiet on the Western front I think I'll join the National Liberation Front [Verse 3] The boys on the bases thеy play at the ball The stock market risеs, the stock market falls And the high school principal is led to the wall And it's all, all quiet on the Western front [Verse 4] Civilized nations abide by the code They learn from the victors to do what they're told Even Israel is marching down Germany's road And it's all, all quiet on the Western front I guess I'll join the National Liberation Front [Verse 5] The war babies try to crawl back to the womb Assassins and astronauts race to the moon And Eisenhower lies like a saint in his tomb And it's all, all quiet on the Western front [Verse 6] I sit on my back porch, I sing on my song I wait for the earthquake to come with the dawn If there was a god it wouldn't take him so long And it's all, all quiet on the Western front I guess I'll join the American Liberation Front
