Now the moon is almost hidden<br />
Peace is unattainable, reaching for the moon<br />
The stars are beginning to hide<br />
Stars. The Four Star Generals are seeking shelter.<br />
The fortune-telling lady<br />
The military rank and file<br />
Has even taken all her things inside<br />
Has taken shelter along with their arms<br />
All except for Cain and Abel<br />
All except for the criminals<br />
And the hunchback of Notre Dame<br />
And those with physical problems that exempt them from draft<br />
Everybody is making love<br />
Everybody is trying to have kids which also exempts you<br />
Or else expecting rain<br />
Or else expecting rain, war as in Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall. Expecting to go to war.<br />
And the Good Samaritan, he’s dressing<br />
The Army medic is getting his dressings ready<br />
He’s getting ready for the show<br />
He’s getting ready for casualties.<br />
He’s going to the carnival tonight<br />
