Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So I'm sitting here obediently
Waiting for orders patiently
And I know I'm not to move from this seat
You don't need to tie me down
I don't wanna be free
I am your soldier
I come to serve you
But I've been a good boy/girl
I don't deserve you
Oh, I salute you
I've faced up to my fate
Attempted escape before
Oh, I salute you
You don't need to sound the alarm
I'm not gonna run anymore
So down behind my back and up through my feet
Extracting the poison you claim to beat
I can accept now fighting only ends in pleas
How can I protest when you're stronger than me?
I am your soldier
I come to serve you
But I've been a good boy/girl
I don't deserve you
Oh, I salute you
I've faced up to my fate
Attempted escape before
Oh, I salute you
You don't need to sound the alarm
I'm not gonna run anymore
Now that I'm worn you don't want to wear me
Now that I'm torn you don't want to tear me
Now that I'm done you've had your helping
But I'm desperately used
No good to anyone else
I am your soldier
I come to serve you
But I've been a good boy/girl
I don't deserve you
Oh, I salute you
I've faced up to my fate
Attempted escape before
Oh, I salute you
You don't need to sound the alarm
I'm not gonna run anymore
