E                            Esus4 
When they first came to your school cafeteria 

E                     Esus4 
setting up tables and folding chairs 

while all around you the children sat squawking 

you were impatient to see what they had to share 

you were impressed with their pamphlets tri-folded 
with bullet point lists of the ways you could go 
offering chances to be part of legends 
you never thought you would be able to 

Soldier 

your grandpa died from a german man's courage 
to do what he thought was right 
and downwards he fell towards the mud like an extra 
in the background of a movie set 

well you packed your bags gave a kiss to your mother 
and walked out the door with a world on your shoulder 
you traded your hands for grenades and machine guns 
and boy you sung your battle cry so low 

mama mama can't you see 
what the army's done to me 
I used to date a beauty queen 
and now I hug my M16 
mama mama can't you see 
they've made a Soldier out of me 

Soldier 
Soldier 
Soldier 

I know there are papers at the post office 
neatly arranged in a bin labeled draft forms 
and as I walk by them they scream and they're snarling 
threatening to take the man I love away
