Look at th? Big War ?crost the Sea;
Well I'm sure that you'll agree
There's mean things a happenin? in this world;
I ain't got a cryin? dime,
An? I'm that a way all th? time;
There's mean things a happenin? in this world;
Ever thing is leased and lent
And to Britain it has went;
And th? Soldier in th? War
Don't know what he's a fightin? for;
And the Tanks a rollin? on
To th? burstin? of th? bombs;
Brother an? Sister getting? killed
For a green back dollar bill;
There's Mean things a happenin? in this World
Man and Woman lend an ear
To the War that's drawin? neat;
You are spied on by Police
If you Speak the Word of Peace;
If you talk ?bout Broth?ly Love
Back in Jail you'll get shoved;
O? I'd ruther?d fight for Peace
Than this crooked Lend & Lease
There's Mean things a happenin? in this World
Folks wants Peace for miles aroun?
Lord, from New York City down;
But we're a gonna save our Nation
With a Peace Mobilization;
Lord, the cops turn on th? heat
If you talk Peace on th? street
Organize my Brother and Sister
And we'll win this World again;
There's Mean things a happenin? in this World
