Tips from the gaggle

Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.

SING IT

I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield,
And bring the troops home now (x3)
I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield ,
And bring the troops home now
And study war no more

Chorus: I ain’t gonna study war no more (6x)

We’re gonna stop those bomb and drone attacks
And bring the troops home now (x3)
We’re gonna stop those bomb and drone attacks
And bring the troops home now
And study war no more

Chorus

Same pattern: We’re gonna spend our money on human needs

Chorus

Same pattern: We’re gonna join hands around the world

Chorus
