[00:21.19]Jimmy wasn't really popular
[00:24.04]He had a couple of friends back home
[00:28.91]And sooner or later they're all getting out
[00:32.10]So he had to join up alone
[00:35.50]He was dreaming of the Ivy League
[00:38.44]Since he was only three feet tall
[00:43.28]And get the hell out of Jersey
[00:45.75]And then he would never look back at all
[00:50.58]And then your hear 'em say that miles away
[00:55.25]We lost another one that we sent with a gun
[00:59.95]They're gonna miss him he was
[01:02.02]Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
[01:07.56]From the man to blame
[01:12.71]Jimmy never had a reason to stay
[01:15.70]'Cos all the factories shut down
[01:20.56]All he had was a line for his name
[01:23.82]So he could sign away his right to be proud
[01:26.95]He tried to kiss her on the way out the door
[01:29.89]She just put her little hand on his face
[01:34.76]"I don't understand why you're leaving", she said
[01:38.01]"But I hope you're gonna ask me to wait"
[01:42.20]And then your hear 'em say that miles away
[01:46.71]We lost another one that we sent with a gun
[01:51.49]His lady missed him, he was
[01:53.14]Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
[01:58.78]From the man to blame
[02:03.81]
[02:33.02]Jimmy's mother went to Capitol Hill
[02:35.79]So she could fill her heart up with joy
[02:41.05]Maybe shake a few hands while she's there
[02:44.04]And tell them thank you, sir, for taking my boy
[02:48.18]And then your hear 'em say that miles away
[02:52.69]We lost another one that we sent with a gun
[02:57.13]His mama missed him he was
[02:59.59]Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
[03:04.65]From the man to blame
[03:08.73]No there's still no shame and we're all to blame
[03:20.81]We're all to blame, we're all to blame
[03:29.06]We're all to blame, we're all to blame
