A
I could be a soldier
A
Be a people's soldier
G
Paramilitary gun in hand
A
I won't be a soldier
G
I won't take no orders from no-one
A
Stuff their fuckin' armies
G
Killing isn't my idea of fun
Chorus
E A
And they wanna waste my life
E A
They wanna waste my time
E A
They wanna waste my life
G D A
And they've stolen it away
Verse 2
A
I could be a hero
G
Live and die for their important cause
A
A united nation
G
Or an independent state with laws
A
And rules and regulations
G
That merely cause disturbances and wars
A
And that's what I have got now
G
All thanks to the freedom seeking hoardes
{Repeat chorus}
F# E
I'm not gonna be taken in
F# E
They said if I don't join I just can't win
F# E
I've heard that story many times before
F# G#
And every time I've thrown it out the door
Solo
A
Still they come up to me
G
With a different name and same old face
A
I can see the connection
G
With another time and another place
A
No they ain't blond-haired or blue-eyed
G
But they think that they're the master race
A
They're nothing but blind fascists
G
Brought up to hate and given lives to waste
{repeat chorus twice}
