Ain't It Funny - Hazel O'Connor

Come and join the score

(It's a)

Very holy core

(You must)

Fight for freedom, liberty

(You must)

Fight for old men just like me

Now he’s not in the mood

(To fight)

But he’ll give you clothes and food

(Alright you see)

Someone else is making more than me

And that can’t be bold economic policy

Ain’t it funny, ain’t it shame

Why the fat man is snoring

You can die for his games

(Economy)

Ain’t it funny, ain’t it a joke

As you die for the fat man

He’s lifting your joke

See I have no arm

(For giving)

See I have no legs

(To run away)

See I have no nose, no eyes

I hear no lies, I’m monkey wise

Guess I got my gun

(You didn’t run?)

Back in '41

(Where are you now?)

Now I wish I could just swim in the sun

Wondering what have I won

'Cause it wasn’t much fun at all

Ain’t it funny, ain’t it shame

Why the fat man is snoring

You can die for his games

(Economy)

Ain’t it funny, ain’t it a joke

As you die for the fat man

He’s lifting your joke

Your country needs you today

Your country needs you to die
