Their daddies told them to never ask why

The barbwire fence is gettin' higher and higher

We're gettin' ready to fight fire with fire

It's gettin' so there ain't a kind word said

But we gotta keep movin' on, pushin' on ahead

I'll fuss then baby and fight 'em baby, ow

East wind is blowin' and a full moon is high

But we gotta keep movin' on, pushin' on ahead
