Mother Courage (And the Threat of Peace)
From Ulm to Metz, from Metz to Mahren
The goddamned army's on its feet
What if the land is burned and barren
The war needs men and men must eat
The war will feed you steel and fire
If you sign up for bloody deeds
It's only blood that war requires
So come and feed it what it needs
The goddamned army's on its feet
What if the land is burned and barren
The war needs men and men must eat
The war will feed you steel and fire
If you sign up for bloody deeds
It's only blood that war requires
So come and feed it what it needs
