Michael Hills Blues Mob - Soldiers Blues lyrics

Hah... Huh huh... Where I come from? Brothers who have escaped from the 'hood to the front American dream? Just hoping you get home alive... Hah, all good soldiers know what to expect Said all good soldiers know what to expect Listen: got to see you darling, may never see you again No no no Never lost a battle, can't seem to win the war Never lost a battle no no, can't seem to win the war Hah I just pray someone can tell me, what the hell we're fightin' for Listen now Old men fightin' on chairs, send the young ones off to die Old men fightin' on chairs, send the young ones off to die Hah you know what? Asked the captain to explain, and he could not tell me why No no no no no Listen: somethin' terrible in a who*ehouse, his name was G. I. Joe I'm tellin' ya: somethin' terrible in a who*ehouse, his name was G. I. Joe He had k**ed a bunch of children, he was off to k** some more I've got the soldier's blues And I really payed my dues Got the s-s-soldier, soldier's blues Really payed my dues I fight the enemy abroad And in my home town too I've got the soldier's blues And I really payed my dues Got the soldier, soldier, soldier's blues Really payed my dues Fight the enemy abroad And in my home town too Hah... try to send me To k** my family yon In mama Africa Got my children k**in' my brothers and sisters In Panama Lord knows it ain't right This no way's right (spoken:) And all those soldiers who did Vietnam Back in the world with nowhere to live Tired and weary Company -
