draft dodger rag

• phil ochs şarkısı, sözleri de şöyle:
  oh, ı'm just a typical american boy from a typical american town
  ı believe in god and senator dodd and a-keepin' old castro^* down
  and when it came my time to serve ı knew "better dead than red"
  but when ı got to my old draft board, buddy, this is what ı said:
  
  chorus
  sarge, ı'm only eighteen, ı got a ruptured spleen
  and ı always carry a purse
  ı got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat, and my asthma's getting worse
  yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalid aunt
  besides, ı ain't no fool, ı'm a-goin' to school
  and ı'm working in a dee-fense plant
  
  ı've got a dislocated disc and a wracked up back
  ı'm allergic to flowers and bugs
  and when the bombshell hits, ı get epileptic fits
  and ı'm addicted to a thousand drugs
  ı got the weakness woes, ı can't touch my toes
  ı can hardly reach my knees
  and if the enemy came close to me
  ı'd probably start to sneeze
  
  ı'm only eighteen, ı got a ruptured spleen
  and ı always carry a purse
  ı got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat, and my asthma's getting worse
  yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalid aunt
  besides, ı ain't no fool, ı'm a-goin' to school
  and ı'm working in a dee-fense plant
  
  ooh, ı hate chou en lai, and ı hope he dies,
  onething you gotta see
  that someone's gotta go over there
  and that someone isn't me
  so ı wish you well, sarge, give 'em hell!
  kill me a thousand or so
  and if you ever get a war without blood and gore
  ı'll be the first to go
  
  yes, ı'm only eighteen, ı got a ruptured spleen
  and ı always carry a purse
  ı got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat, and my asthma's getting worse
  yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalid aunt
  besides, ı ain't no fool, ı'm a-goin' to school
  and ı'm working in a dee-fense plant
