Arms for America

Arms for America

 

Arms for the love of America!

They speak in a foreign land, with weapons in every hand

Whatever they try, we've gotta reply

In language that they understand

Arms for the love of America!

And for the love of every mother's son

Who's depending on the work that must be done

By the man behind the man behind the gun

On land and on the sea and in the air

We've gotta be there, we've gotta be there

America is sounding her alarm

We've gotta have arms, we've gotta have arms

They're in the camps and in the training schools

Now give 'em the tools, they've gotta have tools

We called them from the factories and the farms

Now give 'em the arms, they've gotta have arms

Arms for the love of America!

We've gotta get in the race and work at a lively pace

They say over here, we've nothing to fear

But let's get ready just in case

Arms for the love of America!

And for the love of every mother's son

Oh the fight for freedom can be lost or won

by the man behind the man behind the gun
