Lyrics
TV's on, the favorite son
is watchin' how the West was won
Daddy, please, a plastic gun
Get brother one for twice the fun
Little camo helmet heads
Makin' brave and playin' dead
And missiles made of gingerbread
And dollars on the dime

Hey ho, so it goes
The point of sale, the puppet show
The merchant kings of war and woe
have turned their hands to labor
Sound out the trumpet noise
The cannons bark and jump for joy
Someone's dread and darlin' boy
has fallen on his saber

So bring your kids and coddled pets
Bouncin' babes in bassinets
We'll play a game with tanks and jets
Better yet, bayonets
Action dolls with laser sights
Robot planes that shoot at night
Faster, kid, and get it right
We're rollin' down the line

Hey ho, so it goes
The point of sale, the puppet show
The merchant kings of war and woe
have turned their hands to labor
Sound out the trumpet noise
The cannons bark and jump for joy
Someone's dread and darlin' boy
has fallen on his saber

These days the spin machine
is always on the silver screen
Secret plots and submarines
Foreign fiends and magazines
Wave the flag and watch the news
And tell us we can count on you
'Cause Mom and Dad are marchin', too
Children, step in time

Hey ho, so it goes
The point of sale, the puppet show
The merchant kings of war and woe
have turned their hands to labor
Sound out the trumpet noise
The cannons bark and jump for joy
Someone's dread and darlin' boy
has fallen on his saber
