When Johnny comes marching home again...harro...harro   Give him a hearty welcome then...harro...harro   All the boys will sing and the girls will shout   And the ladies they will all turn out      Get away...get away   I can't use you no more   Don't stand at my windows   Don't knock at my door   Cause we're trying to pretend   There was never a war   And you're just a constant reminder      When you called us we answered   Where you sent us we went   What you asked us we did   Now that's not what you meant   We believed when you told us   About the right and the wrong   But now we're back home   Where we thought we belonged   This is our welcome home song      Get away...get away   I can't use you no more   Don't stand at my windows   Don't knock at my door   Cause we're trying to pretend   There was never a war   And you're just a constant reminder      You pass us each day   On the streets where you lay   You throw us a quarter   Than you hurry away   Leavin' us bleeding right here where we fall   You leave us the shame and the blame for it all   Without even our names on a wall      Get away...get away   I can't use you no more   Don't stand at our windows   Don't knock at our door   Cause we're trying to pretend   There was never a war   And you're just a constant reminder   If there's ever a war   Why we'll call you for sure   But now you're just a constant reminder
