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
