Official Lyrics
(Arms for the love of America!)
On land and on the sea and in the air
We've gotta be there, we've gotta be there
America is sounding her alarm
We've gotta have arms, we've gotta have arms
Arms for the love of America!
They speak in a foreign land, with weapons in every hand
Whatever they try, we've gotta reply
In language that they understand
Arms for the love of America!
And for the love of every mother's son
Who's depending on the work that must be done
By the man behind the man behind the gun
They're in the camps and in the training schools
Now give'm the tools, they've gotta have tools
We called them from the factories and the farms
Now give'm the arms, they've gotta have arms
Arms for the love of America!
We've gotta get in the race and work at a lively pace
They say over here, we've nothing to fear
But let's get ready just in case
Arms for the love of America!
And for the love of every mother's son
Oh the fight for freedom can be lost or won
by the man behind the man behind the gun
Arms for the love of America!
For the love of America,
Arms!
