He was dreaming of the Ivy League

And then your hear em say that miles away

Jimmy never had a reason to stay
吉米未曾有過藉口留下
Cos all the factories shut down

All he had was a line for his name

So he could sign away his right to be proud

吉米母親去了國會大廈
Jimmys mother went to Capitol Hill
於是，她可以滿心“歡喜”
So she could fill her heart up with joy
或許她會在那和一些人握手
Maybe shake a few hands while shes there
然後告訴他們：謝謝，先生，是你們奪走了我的孩子
And tell them thank you, sir, for taking my boy
那之後，你聽聞他們傳說在那遙遠彼方
And then your hear em say that miles away
我們又失去了一個人，一個我們給予他槍（把他送上戰場）的人
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
他的媽媽思念著他
His mama missed him he was
（吉米）他還有兩週就二十歲了
Two weeks from twenty and theres still no shame
那個本該遭受責難的人卻依舊毫無愧疚
From the man to blame
沒有，依舊毫無愧疚，而我們都難辭其咎
No theres still no shame and were all to blame
我們都該被責難，我們都該被批判
Were all to blame, were all to blame
我們都該被責難，我們都該被批判
Were all to blame, were all to blame
