he's given a rifle and he's taught how to fight

he's standing out there in the cold he has to do what he's told

he's a soldier he's a soldier he's a soldier he's a soldier

now at bla he sees his friends got shot he hasn't been there long but he's looked a lot he stood by his country and he stood by his queen it's the craziest war that he's ever seen

he's a soldier he's a soldier he's a soldier he's a soldier

soldier now that your dead bla got a bullet lodged in your head and your mother is left to cry because you joined the army and you had to die

he's a soldier he's a soldier he's a soldier he's a soldier
