Bob Seger Ballad of the Yellow Beret Lyrics

This is a protest against protesters
Fearless cowards of the U.S.A.
Bravely here at home they stay
They watch their friends get shipped away
The draft dodgers of the Yellow Beret

Yellow streaks up and down their spines
Men who gladly stay behind
They won't fight for the U.S.A.
They fought hard for a Yellow Beret

Men who faint at the side of blood
Their high heel boots weren't meant for mud
The draft board will hear their sob stories today
Only the best win the Yellow Beret

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Yellow Beret has met his fate
He's been drafted for marching in a protest
Leaving her his last request

Put a yellow streak down my sons back
Make sure that he never, ever fights back
At his physical have him say he's gay
Have him win the Yellow Beret
The Yellow Beret...
