Nobody's Soldier – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Running with bulls, working my miracles

Holding my world together with a boot string

Living the dream, Benzos and gasoline

Coffee and blue light screens 'til the morning

If I tell you this is drowning, you'd tell me I'm walking on water

I could bring fire from the mountain, you'd tell me it feels a little colder

I don't wanna

Choose between being a salesman or a soldier

Just let me look a little older, let me step a little bolder

Choose between being a butcher or a pauper

Honey, I'm taking no orders, I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

Sick to my skin, watching the news again

Whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run

The paint on the walls come down like a waterfall

The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one

If I say that this is drowning, you'd tell me I'm walking on water

I could bring fire from the mountain, you'd tell me it feels a little colder

I don't wanna

Choose between being a salesman or a soldier

Just let me look a little older, let me step a little bolder

Choose between being a butcher or a pauper

Honey, I'm taking no orders, I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

(Nobody's soldier) mm, being a butcher

(Nobody's soldier) or a pauper, I'm

(Nobody's soldier) I'm gonna be

Nobody's soldier

I don't wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier

Just let me look a little older, let me step a little bolder

Choose between being a butcher or a pauper

Honey, I'm taking no orders, gonna be nobody's soldier
