lyrics

SOLDIER MAN

VERSE 1

Long ago you fought with bows and arrows
Gun powder come then you lighted up the cannons
Heavy ammunition and Nuclear bombs
Guided missiles don't know when they come

Used to go to war on horseback riding
Sharpening your sword till it sharp like lightning
Didn't need to run cause the bullet won't come
But the rock of the catapult burns

CHORUS

Hey soldier man(hey hey hey soldier)
It's been a long long time
Long long time (long long time)
Hey soldier man(hey hey hey soldier)
They say you's a dangerous man

VERSE 2

But those days are over defending the castle
Boarding a ship to a far away battle
You wake up at dawn to the sound of the horn
And you groom your horse so it can run and run

Without no fear you used to be a hero
But nowadays not far away from zero
Dem lock you away in a mental home
Tell me what you gonna do now

CHORUS

BRIDGE x 2

Soldier man put down your gun (soldier soldier)
Wake up when the morning comes (danger danger)

OUTRO

What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
