They went out like wild men
In the direction of the sun
Though there were no smiles on their faces
You could feel that they had fun
Oh soldiers where do you go
Is there something to fight for
One child with tears in his eyes
Will you pay the price
They succeeded in battles so far
The general was satisfied
And so they were marching on
Always ready to fight
Oh soldiers where do you go
Is there something to fight for
With the gun in your hand you feel strong
Are you glad to decide
To live and let die
Soldiers don't cause any trouble
They are used like bullets and guns
A thousand years and they have learned nothing
One orders "March!" and it's done
Oh soldiers where do you go
Is there something to fight for
Sweat and blood quench nobody's thirst
You've got no right to decided
To live and let die
In the direction of the sun
Though there were no smiles on their faces
You could feel that they had fun
Oh soldiers where do you go
Is there something to fight for
One child with tears in his eyes
Will you pay the price
They succeeded in battles so far
The general was satisfied
And so they were marching on
Always ready to fight
Oh soldiers where do you go
Is there something to fight for
With the gun in your hand you feel strong
Are you glad to decide
To live and let die
Soldiers don't cause any trouble
They are used like bullets and guns
A thousand years and they have learned nothing
One orders "March!" and it's done
Oh soldiers where do you go
Is there something to fight for
Sweat and blood quench nobody's thirst
You've got no right to decided
To live and let die
