Gm
Here’s to the private
Gm
He got orders from the sergeant
Gm
They came down from the captain
Gm
And the list goes up and up
Cm
They told him now is your chance
Cm Gm
To go and make your mama proud
Gm
This is your time
Cm
But when mama heard
All she could do is
Cm
Fall down and cry
Her boy had died
CHORUS:
A#
And we keep wondering why
Cm Gm
The times go mad like this
A# F
When the signs are all around us
Gm
All the time
Gm
You get your kids up
Gm
And you take them to school
Gm
You’re gone the whole day
Maybe get home
Gm
Spend a minute or two with them, Meanwhile
Gm
Cellphones, tv,
Video games and school
Gm
Are raising your children
It’s true
Gm
Things like morals and ethics
And family tradition
Gm
Can only be learned from you
What can you do
CHORUS:
A#
And we keep wondering why
Cm Gm
The times go mad like this
A# F
When the signs are all around us
Gm
All the time
