Kind Of Like Spitting

Draft Dodger Rag
Lyricist:Phil Ochs
Well, I'm just a typical American boy From a typical American town I believe in God and Senator Dodge And keepin' old Castro down
And when it came my time to serve I knew 'Better dead than red' But when I got to my old drop port Buddy, this is what I said
'Sarg., I'm only 18, I got a ruptured spleen I always carry a purse I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat And my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear My poor old uncle and aunt Besides I ain't no fool, I'm going to school And I'm workin' in a defense plant
I got a dislocated disc and a [unverified]back And I'm allergic to flowers and bugs And when the bomb shell hits I get epileptic fits And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs
I got the weakness woes, can't touch my toes I can hardly reach my knees And if the enemy came close to me I'd probably start to sneeze'

Yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear My poor old uncle and aunt Besides I ain't no fool, I'm going to school And I'm workin' in a defense plant
And I hate showin' why, and I hope he dies But one thing you've got to see Is that someone's gotta go over there And that someone isn't me
So I wish you well, Sarg., give 'em hell And kill me a thousand or so And if you ever get a war without blood and gore Well, I'll be the first to go'
'Sarg., I'm only 18, I got a ruptured spleen I always carry a purse I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat And my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear My poor old uncle and aunt Besides I ain't no fool, I'm going to school And I'm workin' in a defense plant
