The ad on the left titled "Music For Progressives Everywhere," with it's link to "When Johnny Comes Rolling Home", brought to mind an old protest song from the Vietnam era. I have no idea who wrote the words, and I probably misremember them anyway. It should be sung slowly and solemnly, like a dirge.
When Johnny is carried home again
Haroo! Haroo!
We'll give him a tearful welcome when
Haroo! Haroo!
His flag-draped coffin comes down the street
His grieving widow and child to meet
And we'll all feel sad
When Johnny is carried home.
The old church bell won't toll with joy
Haroo! Haroo!
When his parents greet their darling boy
Haroo! Haroo!
His high schools friends will say good-by
As one by one, they file by
And we'll all feel sad
When Johnny is carried home.
We'll lift a pint in Johnny's name
Haroo! Haroo!
"He is a hero", we will claim
Haroo! Haroo!
But always we will wonder why
Our friend was sent away to die
And we'll all feel sad
When Johnny is carried home.
