Spring Conscience Lyrics by Covered Wagon Musicians

We Say No to Your War!

1972

It was the spring
And I wanted to leap
And run in the meadows
The grass at my feet
But not too soon
I'd be lost in my grief
For just not following
The thing I believed
The notice came
And I packed my bags that day
I was headed out
For San Anton' way
The bus, it passed
All the grand old sights I knew
I cried all the way
What else could I do?
Now my head was shaved
And my clothes they were new
But no shirt of checks
And my jeans they weren't blue
I was dressed in green
And I stunk of the mud
That I wallowed in
And I knew that I was stuck
Then we're overseas
And we learned how to kill
It's not a thing you know
When you're small and you're little
But now you've grown
And you should be so smart
So go and kill your fellow man
You've got a brain, yes
But no heart
It was the spring
And I wanted to leap
And run in the meadows
The grass at my feet
But not too soon
I'd be lost in my grief
For just not following
The thing I believed
