Hall & Oates - War Baby Son of Zorro - (War Babies, 1974)

He's a war baby, the son of zorro
He's a war baby, the son of zorro
War baby
Been through momma, the bomb and 'nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a worn baby, born in '45
He's a torn baby, but he's still alive
Scared baby, Ate puffed wheat, x-rayed his feet
In the atomic age, War baby

Water ice, sleeveless fights, despot, yes I know, yes, I know
Angel eyes, simonize, yes, I know

He's a scared baby, he's afraid of a plane
Hid under his desk in a hundred air raids, scared baby
Dug in the dirt, watched Wyatt Earp, in the atomic age, in the atom age, scared baby

Led three lives, commie spies, holy joe, holy joe
Go marines, cloverine, yes, I know, yes, I know

He's a war baby, the son of zorro
He's a war baby, the son of zorro
War baby
Been through momma, the bomb and 'nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a war, he's a war baby
He's a war, a war baby.
