[Verse 1: David Gunn] Oh, so it goes... the poor lie in a ditch hugging rifles for the rich Oh, save for this mental image bliss I'm penniless, so it goes [Verse 2: David Gunn] Dearest STOP If my words haven’t been the sincerest The papers been calling us fearless and you know I'm scared as hell Soldier STOP Remember how we said "Until it's over." The children are just growing older, and you know I’m scared as hell [Bridge: David Gunn] Oh No [Verse 3: David Gunn] Soldier STOP Ive been maimed of bad health My will has stormed out the front door with our wealth I've grown close to your gun on our shelf I'm thinking of turning it on myself And I'll wait for you up there For as long as you need I swear [Verse 4: David Gunn] Remember when we'd swim in it, lay in it, play in it? Now its so scarce we can't even bathe in it I see the enemy coming over hills for it The man put a gun in my hand And now I kill for it Darling don't give this up Soldier, remember what you would say? You couldn't put a price On how much you would pay Why is it every man in this city can lay a price on my body several times a day?
