Is There Anybody Here?
(Phil Ochs)
Is there anybody here who'd like to change his clothes into a uniform?
Is there anybody here who thinks they're only servin' on a ragin' storm?
Is there anybody here with glory in their eyes;
Loyal to the end; who's duty is to die?
CHORUS:
I want to see him; I want to wish him luck; I want to shake his hand
Want to call his name; put a medal on the man.
Is there anybody here who'd like to wrap the flag around an early grave?
Is there anybody here who thinks they're standin' taller on a battle wave?
Is there anybody here who'd like to do his part;
A soldier to the world and a hero to his heart?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Is there anybody here proud of the parade
Who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid?
I'd like to ask him what he's tryin' to defend.
I'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win.
Is there anybody here who thinks that
following the orders takes away the blame?
Is there anybody here who wouldn't mind a murder by another name?
Is there anybody here who's pride is on the line,
With the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind?
