Soldier Lyrics

I want you to listen to me baby

Come here real close

I know it's hard to believe it

But I have to go

No, I don't wanna leave you

But I have no choice

I must kiss you goodbye

'Cause they send me to war

And they'll give me a rifle

An airplane or a tank

They'll teach me to use it

And order to fight

Order to fight

But don't worry baby

Maybe I will get back

Maybe we'll win the war

And I will survive

Then they'll give me a medal

Shiny and gold

And they'll call me a hero

A hero of war

And I'll ask myself why

Why they call me a hero

Because I didn't die

Or because I became a killer

Tell me why I got this medal

Go on and tell me why I got this medal

Because I killed these poor people

Because I destroyed their homes

Because I burned their land

Go on and tell me why I got this medal

Tell me why I got this medal

Tell me why I got this medal

Tell me why I got this medal

Tell me why

Tell me why

My little baby

If I will die

Don't let them put a flag on my coffin

Or pay their respects

With their guns

Cause I'm not proud

Of being a soldier
