[Verse 1]
When I was just a young boy
I played with swords and guns
And I dreamed of the day I'd become a soldier
And kill all of the enemies
My country 'tis of thee
I sing this anthem sadly, won't you hear me
I watched the cannons blazing
On the giant silver screen
The swastikas were burning and the hero was me
The general gave the order
Gladly I obeyed
But the movie faded quickly all at once today
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I stand alone with the charges made
Nowhere to run, not a place to hide
We're sad little children playing grown-up games
Guess the time has come, the damage has been done
[Chorus]
Oh stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs
'Cause they learn too slow to get the message
Just like the Indians in the early days
Battles lost and won
Yet it still goes on
It's just another ballad for a soldier
When I was just a young boy
I played with swords and guns
And I dreamed of the day I'd become a soldier
And kill all of the enemies
My country 'tis of thee
I sing this anthem sadly, won't you hear me
I watched the cannons blazing
On the giant silver screen
The swastikas were burning and the hero was me
The general gave the order
Gladly I obeyed
But the movie faded quickly all at once today
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I stand alone with the charges made
Nowhere to run, not a place to hide
We're sad little children playing grown-up games
Guess the time has come, the damage has been done
[Chorus]
Oh stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs
'Cause they learn too slow to get the message
Just like the Indians in the early days
Battles lost and won
Yet it still goes on
It's just another ballad for a soldier
