Hollies - Soldiers Dilemma lyrics

(Clarke)

Please answer my question

Why do I have to go to war

I don't believe in the government's greed

I find the whole thing a bore

Well if you think that it's right

to fight well then fight

well please don't ask me to join in

The trouble were in,

how did it begin

Well please don't ask me to fight your war

I ain't tired of living

I like to keep it in one piece

I don't like the odds you're giving

You ain't having me on a lease

I like to eat three meals a day

in my own lazy way

And you can't keep

that you're giving away for free

Even after I've protested

Seems I don't have any choice

You put a gun in my hand now

You say I'm fighting for peace

Well it's just a lie

so why should I die

for something in which I don't believe

Well it's so hard

when you're shooting at me

Well all I can do is reply

chorus
