Wasted Life — текст песни (Stiff Little Fingers)

I could be a soldier
Go out there and fight to save this land
Be a people`s soldier
Paramilitary gun in hand
I won`t be no soldier
I won`t take no orders from no-one
Stuff their fucking armies
Killing isn`t my idea of fun

(Chorus)
They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they`ve stolen it away

I could be a hero
Live and die for their `important` cause
A united nation
Or an independant state with laws
And rules and regulations
That merely cause disturbances and wars
That is what I`ve got now
All thanks to the freedom-seeking hordes

(Chorus)

I`m not gonna be taken in
They said if I don`t join them I just can`t win
I`ve heard that story many times before
And every time I threw it out the door

Still they come up to me
With a different name but same old face
I can see the connection
With another time and different place
They ain`t blonde haired or blue eyed
But they think that they`re the master race
They`re nothing but blind facists
Brought up to hate and given lives to waste

(Chorus:repeat)
