Thread Name: Anti-war songs from WWI
Subject: Lyr Add: THEY'RE TALKING WAR
Anti-war song after WWI and before WWII - does this fit the bill?

THEY'RE TALKING WAR

They're talking war
Who's talking war?
The yellow press
We know what for

Oh, the sent us out to wallow in gas and mud
While the rich stayed home making cash from blood
Try it again!
Try it again!
And we'll turn the tables then!

They said to fight
Boy how they lied
To save our homes
Country and pride

Well we fough and we won as they said to do
Now the banks have our homes and our country too
Try it again!
Try it again!
And we'll turn the tables then.
