The Cross Of Iron

Dwight Eisenhower
Every gun that is made,

Dwight Eisenhower
every warship launched,

Dwight Eisenhower
every rocket fired signifies in the final sense,

Dwight Eisenhower
a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,

Dwight Eisenhower
those who are cold and are not clothed.

Dwight Eisenhower
This world in arms is not spending money alone.

Dwight Eisenhower
It is spending the sweat of its laborers,

Dwight Eisenhower
the genius of its scientists,

Dwight Eisenhower
the hopes of its children.

Dwight Eisenhower
This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.

Dwight Eisenhower
Under the clouds of war,

Dwight Eisenhower
it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
