Lyrics

We waited so long to speak out, and now see how our silence has taken us back again, to tyranny, our enemy,
It?s not that we?re stupid, we just trusted our future in the hands of those who trade our bodies for oil and gold,

And we?re on the range again, with our six guns drawn, Yippee I A, think we?ll save the day,
And we?re on the range again, singing soldier songs, Johnny get your gun, hope you make it back on home, Johnny get your gun, hope you make it on home, Johnny make it back.

It hasn?t been that long, since the day that the fire fell from the sky,
And made us one with the world.

Though our wounds are still wide, We?re healing them, day by day,
With our eyes wide open, and our hearts in our hand,

And we?re on the range again, with our six guns drawn, Yippee IA, think we?ll can save the day,
And we?re on the range again, singing soldier songs, Johnny get your gun out, hope you make it back home

And we?re on the range again, with our rifles armed, I take aim, and I shoot someone,
You know I really don?t want to shoot no one,
But Johnny get your gun out, hope you make it back on home,
With six guns drawn, Johnny make it back.

I want to see you; I want to see you
We?re on the range again. And we?re on the range again.

And we?re on the range again, writing letters home;
Tell Daddy I love him, gonna make it back home,
Tell Mama I love her, gonna make it back home,
Tell all my little babies; I?ll make it back home

Tell every body, I hope to make it back home,
Johnny, make it back home
Johnny make it back home.
