Lyrics
Say-“You Haven’t Sacrificed At All” Verse: Lot’s of people think they’ve done their duty, there are lot’s of people think they’ve done their bit So they’re complaining and they’re explaining how much they sacrifice and show their grit But how about our heroes in the trenches brave lads who fight for freedom till they fall If we think we’ve done enough then we’re not the proper stuff we haven’t really sacrificed at all Refrain: Have you had a gun upon your good right shoulder? Have you ever slept out in the mud? Have you performed your duties among the rats and cooties have you ever shed a drop of blood for Uncle Sammy? Have you ever charged out there on No Man’s Land? Have you ever heard your captain call over the top Till you know how bullets sing, how they ring how they sting say you haven’t sacrificed at all. Verse: Here’s a chance for you to use your money here’s a chance for you to use a bit of time Come on and use it don not refuse it to loaf on Uncle Sammy is a crime Now get beh
