One step forward and two steps back
This train we ride always jumps the track
The left hand gives but the right hand takes
Soon as one thing's fixed, another one breaks
Woah oh when the chips are down
You just can't give it up you gotta turn it around
Might have to walk alone
With no-one on your side
Make the pieces fit, it's a matter of pride
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, 'cause they don't take no prisoners
One day smiles, the next day frowns
'Cause what goes up must come down
I need to see the doctor but the doctor's ill
Something came along like you know it will
Woah oh don't you run away
Face it face to face, could be your lucky day
Put your pie in the sky and your head in the sand
Don't let the hand of fate push you around
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, 'cause they don't take no prisoners
Lone soldier, lone soldier
I told you sound the battle cry
Lone soldier, war's not over
It's on your shoulders
Let your victory colours fly
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, 'cause they don't take no prisoners
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, 'cause they don't take no prisoners
Lone soldier, lone soldier
Lone soldier, yeah
