(Music and Lyrics: Oates)


I'd like to join the army

Don't want to join the war

I'd take my place in line hell (hell)

Never go AWOL

We keep on marching forward

Never will retreat

Don't let the enemy inside you

That's the beginning of defeat

All good soliders stand (to arms)

All good soliers try (so hard)

To follow orders never asking why

I'm standing at tension

(At tension)

I'm standing at (tension)

I'm standing at tension

(At tension)

I'm standing at (tension)

So ill at ease with you

Afraid to make a move

Yeah


Now a shakey finger on the trigger

Ready aim to please

Now how can such a little bullet

Drop big solier to his knees

But there's no warning only waiting

When a Strangelove drops the bomb

All this fighting it can hurt you

But its the little wounds that do the harm

All good soliders stand (to arms)

One good solider tries (so hard)

He follows orders never questioning why

Never questioning why

I'm standing at tension

(At tension)

I'm standing at (tension)

I'm standing at tension

(At tension)

Standing at (tension)

So ill at ease with you

Afraid to make a move yeah


All good soldiers stand (to arms)

All good soliders try (so hard)

To follow orders never asking why

They never asking why

I'm standing at tension

(At tension)

I'm standing at (tension)

I'm standing at tension

(At tension)

Standing at (tension)

So ill at ease with you

Afraid to make a move
