lyrics

I'm just a soldier with a gun.
Looking out for number one.
I can't fight it alone at all-
could you carry me home if I fall?
Pray to silence, excessive violence.
If all the other boys are convinced that we've already lost,
tell me, would you go on?

If you want it, you should take it and run with it.
A collection of fools will never run you down.
We can't help it if everything is ours to take.
It's just a matter of who's asleep and who's awake.

It's standing there right in front of you.
I think you know what we have to do.
If you listen to me we might live
and have something to tell our grandkids.
Your confusion with this illusion-
It's just another ploy of the man to get into our minds...
So don't try and hide.

If you want it, you should take it and run with it.
A collection of fools will never run you down.
We can't help it if everything is ours to take.
It's just a matter of who's asleep and who's awake.

Are you awake?
Or do you need time?
Time to get high?
Let's think about what we're doing here.
