Soldier Song
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.
There's a bus rollin' down the road
Kickin' up dust as it goes
It stops at the tattered mailbox signs
Picks up babies, mama's crying
Cause power ain't found in gun and badge
It can't be found in drugs or cash
Believe a lie your heart knows ain't true
Dead end life boy, the power's got you
What on earth are you marching for
Soldier
In the jungle when it rains it pours
Soldier
In the end its not your war
Soldier
So what on earth are you marching for
Soldier
Time to open your eyes, soldier
Time to take 'em by surprise, soldier
Time to know who to despise, soldier
Take back your life
You gotta take back your life
They're coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
Today
What on earth are you marching for
Soldier
In the jungle when it rains it pours
Soldier
In the end its not your war
Soldier
So what on earth are you marching for
Soldier
[Speaking Voice] This is my rifle
There are many like it but this one is mine
My rifle is my best friend, it is my life
I must master it as I mater my life
My rifle without me is useless
Without my rifle, I am useless
I must fire my rifle true
I will
Before to God I swear this creed
We are the masters of our enemy
We are the saviours of my life
So be it
Until there is no enemy
But peace.
My feet are heavy but I'm still kickin'
Soldier songs take away my breathin'
I know the truth but I'm not free
My heart is heavy but its still tickin'
Soldier songs take away my feelin'
Mama's tears are all I see
My feet are heavy but I'm still kickin'
Soldier songs take away my breathin'
I know the truth but I'm not free
My heart is heavy but its still tickin'
Soldier songs take away my feelin'
Mama's tears are all I see
