Lyrics of
All These Things That Ive Done

All These Things That Ive Done by The Killers is a song that was inspired by a blend of gospel and rock influences, marking a moment of personal and professional assertion for the band members. According to reports, the iconic line I got soul, but Im not a soldier came to lead vocalist Brandon Flowers while he was in a pub in London, echoing a line from Elton Johns Your Song. The track stands out for its grand chorus and has been interpreted as a ... n anthem of strength and perseverance. See more [+]

I want to stand up, I want to let go
You know you know - no, you don't, you don't.
I want to shine on in the hearts of men.
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.
Another head aches, another heart breaks.
I'm so much older than I can take.
And my affection, well it comes and goes.
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out, yeah
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner,
You know you gotta help me out, yeah.

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me,
The cold-hearted boy I used to be.

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah

You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (2x)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner,
You're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin.
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done.
With all these things that I've done.
If you can hold on, if you can hold on
