SOLDIERS ANTHEM
When I woke up this morning
I found myself alone
I turned to touch her hair
But she was gone, she was gone
And there beside my pillow
Were her tears from the night before
She said "Give up your guns and face the law"
I robbed a bank in Tampa
And I thought I had it made
But the hounds picked up my trail
Within the 'Glades, so I ran
And I stumbled on this cabin
And she came to me once more
She said "Give up your guns and face the law"
I ain't proud I took the route like I told ya
That made me who I am
Somebody who's a soldier
A soldier
A soldier
A soldier
Through the eyes of a soldier (Listen, check it)
Lady leave me alone
I gotta face the riot (yeah)
And wait for me at home
As I'm gonna chase the night
So there be another daylight
Take it as I might
You dont wanna see me go
But I can not face the sight
Of you crying all at home
Lying alone in bed
Dying inside
Forcing yourself to think I'm alright
While my men dying in the warzone
All around me
As we're fighting our enemies
Bodies piled up
Lost so many close friends already
As I swear the same moment
Gonna be my destiny
And you dont wanna see
What happened right next to me
Manslaughter to the first degree
Call Amnesty
United as we were
Divided as we speak
Enlightened with the moral
Altho frightened that it be
Cause who's really right in the e.n.d.?
So many questions
Like a game of jeopardy
But baby I'm telling me
I don't wanna die
And you don't wanna live
When i'm not in your life
It's a heavy weight to lift
We could've been happy
Maybe have a little kid
No worries just a family
But that's not in the script
Thru all the pain and agony
Armer reign weaponry
Bloody rain insanity
I've always told you
Don't worry about me baby
Cause I am a soldier
The sea wall!
Move up to the sea wall!
Sir, i'm staying!
Clear this beach!
Make way for the others!
This is all we've got
Between us and the Almighty!
Every inch of this beach
Has been pre-sighted!
You stay here,
You're a dead man!
Sign up for the money and die for ya money
Live for the money and give up all ya money
Live for the money and give up all ya money
Live for the money and give up all ya money
Checking out the killing fields,
God bless money
So they be out killing anybody in the lottery
Sign up for the money and die for ya money
Live for the money and give up all ya money (Mama)
Sign up for the money and die for ya money. Mama!
Live for the money and give up all ya money
Live for the money and give up all ya money (aah)
Live for the money and give up all ya money
I found myself alone
