Bring the Boys Back Home Lyrics
Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home
[Outro]
“Wrong, do it again!”
*Knock* “Time to go!”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“He keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering!”
“Hahahahaha!!!!!!”
Is there anybody out there?

Mentioning no titles or names! Which you can actually hear, and that snaps him back to then and it precedes, what is for me anyway, is the central song on the whole album “Bring the Boys Back Home.” Well, because it’s partly about not letting people go off and be killed in wars, but it’s also partly about not allowing rock and roll, or making cars or selling soap or getting involved in biological research or anything that anybody might do, not letting that become such an important and “jolly boys game” that it becomes more important than friends, wives, children, other people.
