He that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’

My grandfather was a duck trapper
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
I don’t know if they had any dreams or hopes

“Oh son, you look so fine, I’m glad you’re a son of mine
You make me proud to know you hold a gun
Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get
And we’ll put them on the wall when you come home”

He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He’s sure got a lotta gall
To be so useless and all

When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest

They show me to the door
They say don’t come back no more
’Cause I don’t be like they’d like me to
And I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don’t feel alone
’Cause I believe in you

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what’s worse
Is this pain in here
I can’t stay in here
Ain’t it clear that—

Thaler showed up a lot in this YIVO collection of the Progressive Horodenker Benevolent Society, which Yiddish singer Ben Bonus was also a member of. Many ads for Thaler's orchestra or mentions of him in newsletters playing for members' weddings.

Too much paperwork

I'm beginning to believe what the scriptures tell
