| A wretched outcast with no point of view
|
| What could I do? |
| Just military service
|
| I carry out the powerful vulgarian view
|
| I scatter gloom, do as I say, or I’ll scatter you
|
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no
|
| You can’t blame me, I’m just an innocent soldier
|
| There would be no war if not for me
|
| I’m just a sweet little soldier
|
| No, no, no, no, no
|
| You can’t blame me, I’m just an innocent soldier
|
| Give me an order, I’ll blow up a border
|
| Give me an order, and I’ll blow up your daughter
|
| Call me brave, call me a peace-making hero
|
| Call me anything except what I am
|
| From a class without, I haven’t a clue
|
| What the war is about, I haven’t got a clue
|
| Have you?
|
| Oh no, no, no
|
| You can’t blame me, I’m just an innocent soldier
|
| There would be no war if not for me
|
| I’m just a sweet little soldier
|
| No, no, no, no, no
|
| You can’t blame me, after all, I’m just
|
| Honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| Honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| I’m honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| I’m honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| I’m honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| I’m honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| I’m honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| Honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| Honour-mad, cannon fodder
|
| Duty done by the moment at hand
|
| I am answerable only to Jesus
|
| And with the grace of God, I will die in my own bed
|
| If you wonder what’s in my head
|
| It’s just the hatred for all human life
|
| When I lose mine, my mother will say
|
| «He died doing the job he loved»
|
| But I died with a bullet to the forehead
|
| That wasn’t the job I loved
|
| That wasn’t the job I loved
|
| That wasn’t the job I loved
|
| Funny how the war goes on
|
| Without our John, without our John
|
| It’s funny how the war goes on
|
| Without our John, without our John
|
| La la la la la, la la
|
| La la la la la la la la la, la la
|
| La la la la la la la
|
| Funny how the war goes on
|
| Without our John, without our John
|
| It’s funny how the war goes on
|
| Without John, without our John
|
| La la la la la, la la
|
| La la la la la la la la la, la la
