Down By Law Soldier Boy Lyrics

Soldier Boy Lyrics

soldier of fortune 



you go wherever the call is 



soldier of fortune 



you go wherever it is 



thirty three and a third 



revolutions per minute 



bright lights go through his head 



gonna bring down the government 



gonna write to that girl 



but first he puts on his walkman instead 



retreats to a world where no one can hurt him 



at least till the batteries die 



soldier of fortune . . . 



revolutions per minute! 



A thousand miles an hour! 



This is another call to arms 



do you know where you're going? 



Do you know what you're doing? 



Or are you gonna stick to your guns? 



But he made a vow that he would never run away 



I am a lonely soldier boy 



thousands of miles from my home 



soldier of fortune . . . 



not me
