Story behind the song
Matt: A lot of people were involved in Anti-draft activism. It turns out that all of us were registered except for Curt. It was his message anyway. I revived the song later when I was in Thingy. We dropped it when we compared notes, and found that ALL of us had registered. Oops.
Ron: Song recorded at The Evergreen State College in Studio B by Bryan Learned (bass player for the Young Pioneers) on 12/07/1983.
Lyrics
So you're 18
aint that peachy keen
now somebody wants you to sign up for the next war
I wanna be nice so here's my advice
don't let them tell you what to do anymore
don't register
don't register
don't register
don't register
don't register
don't register
don't register
for the draft
yadda yadda yadda
fascist demands
blah blah blah
don't give in
chorus
