after the war we'll settle down
move out west buy a house in California

after the war we'll leave this goddam town
find a job that pays you a whole lotta money
raise an American child
raise an American child
raise an American child
raise an American child
born under a blanket of fear
raised without any kind of certainty
searching for anything real
raised in a so-called liberty
up another house for sale
how they gonna keep the dogs away

after it all we'll figure it out
we'll start a life there ain't no one town better
raise an American child
raise an American child...
