( Funny draft song lyrics )
I'M LOOKING FOR YOUNG MEN
Copyright © 2004 - mickterry.com

For years I've been finding my "partners"
in ev'ry place that I can look.
Don't care if they're dumb or they're smarter.
I don't care if they're honest or crooks.
They travel with me to far places,
wherever my whimsy may roam.
I don't recall all of their faces.
Lots of times they will never go home.

    I'M LOOKING FOR YOUNG MEN.
    I'm out on the prowl.
    I'M LOOKING FOR YOUNG MEN.
    I want them all now.

You've probably noticed my picture
on some dirty Post Office wall
that makes me look like I'm a trickster.
I'm not that kind of guy after all.
It's said that I use them and lose them,
but that's not exactly the truth.
I pay them for services rendered,
'though I've damaged and ended their youth.

    CHORUS

        Wrong? Is it wrong
        to be promising all that I do?
        Wrong? What's so wrong?
        Who knows? Maybe next I'll want you.

Don't think of me like I'm some geezer,
perverted and kinky and weird
or some old conniving deceiver
with these funky, wild clothes and a beard.
I do really care for these people
'though I don't give them all that I can.
I'm there when the bells toll in steeples.
After all, I am their Uncle Sam.

    CHORUS

        Okay, okay, to be politically correct,
        I've taken a few women, too.

To other war song lyrics:   FACE TO FACE
CAN WE TALK?
HEY, ITS NOT ME
LAND OF DREAMS
CHILDREN OF WAR
BEHIND THE LINES
THE NUKE'S A HAZARD
BIN LADEN, BIN LADEN
NIGHT OF DYING MOON
ONCE THE DARK WINGS
SADDAMI, SADDAMI, BALONEY
I WANT HIM BACK FROM IRAQ
WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT ME?
EXPERIMENTS COME, EXPERIMENTS GO
To the TOP
