Intro:
(TWICE)
Here's to the private
He got orders from the sergeant
They came down from the captain
And the list goes up and up
They told him now is your chance
To go and make your mama proud
This is your time
But when mama heard
All she could do is
Fall down and cry
Her boy had died
CHORUS:
And we keep wondering why
The times go mad like this
When the signs are all around us
All the time
You get your kids up
And you take them to school
You're gone the whole day
Maybe get home
Spend a minute or two with them, Meanwhile
Cellphones, tv,
Video games and school
Are raising your children
It's true
Things like morals and ethics
And family tradition
Can only be learned from you
What can you do
CHORUS:
And we keep wondering why
The times go mad like this
When the signs are all around us
All the time
}x4

CHORUS:
And we keep wondering why
The times go mad like this
When the signs are all around us
All the time
We keep wondering why
The times go mad like this
When the signs are all around us
All the time
