I was working on this song for an upcoming jam session with some friends. A number are too young to understand the references in the last verse. Then I found this youtube performance. Inspired by your updating of the lyrics, I decided to write a new last verse myself (a rather bold move, since I'm not a songwriter). For what it's worth, here's what I came up with. Our leaders all tell us if only they had more, A larger military they'd put an end to war I've lived the history my friend. This is not how war will end. So, I ain't marching anymore. No, I ain't not marching anymore. Thanks for a great rendition of this classic Phil Ochs song.

Our leaders all tell us if only they had more,
A larger military they'd put an end to war
I've lived the history my friend. This is not how war will end.
So, I ain't marching anymore. No, I ain't not marching anymore.
Thanks for a great rendition of this classic Phil Ochs song.
