The Soldierman
He don't understand
The Soldierman
He only can go wrong (repeat)
In the falling rain in the snow
My grandpa was a soldier fighting in the German war
Punishment for him if he ever complained
The pressure gets hard but he still bear the pain
Oh Lord bless every of the luckless they are
Some of them managed to survive the crazy war
But how can a young man be peaceful at all
If there is war allover and over again
The Soldierman
He don't understand
The Soldierman
They all get drafted to fight for their pride
None of them knew what is wrong or what is right
Believe in what they have ever been told
Servants of war do not live to get old
So children don’t you ever play this crucial game
And if you do you got to bear all the blame
And you finally will go insane
Because there is war allover and over again
