Pacifist remake of the song "Over There"

Yankee wants some fun
with a gun wants some fun
always on the run
on the run with a gun

Hear your heart and try to be
A true son of liberty
Hurry, go right home
right away, no delay

Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad
Now your sweetheart will not pine
'Cause her boy's not in the line

Over here, over here
They're going over here from over there
And the world is humming, The world is drumming
No Yankees fighting over there

So beware, don't despair
Send the word, send the Yankees over here
The war is over, they're coming over
And they won't go back cause it's over, over there.

Yankee drop your gun
drop your drone stop your run
Yankee show the world
that you're not such a bum

Let somebody else's flag go fly
yankee doodle doesn't have to die
Once again be sane,
Show your brain, stop your pain

Yankee leave your tanks
no more tents, no more ranks
Make the whole world proud of you
and the old red white and blue

Over here, over here
They're coming over here from over there
For the yanks are going, the yanks are going,
No yankees fighting over there

So beware, don't despair
Send the word, send the yanks over here
The terror's over, they're coming overAnd they won't go back 'cause it's over, over there.
