Barefoot Soldier Eddy Grant

Yeah, I been and talked to the devil
Been and talked, yeah
I asked him why the hell in heaven
Does he wanna wage war on me?

Yeah, I been up to see the pontiff
And I've seen the sage
To seek some kinda satisfaction
For the crime of our age

They said I would find your brother
Sleeping soundly in the rain
But they said you were a soldier
And you would never feel the pain

But I'm glad it's over
'Cause it breaks my heart
When I see you this way, oh Lord
Barefoot soldier

Yeah, I heard they sold you something
Yeah they tried all on me
But I weren't looking for nothing
So they had to set me free

The devil, he said he was for justice
The spoon he's got, that's his gun
The pontiff's still looking for a cause
He wanna trap another one
