Tin Soldiers (士兵) (Live) - Stiff Little Fingers (僵硬小指)

He joined up to get a job

And show he wasn't scared

Swapped boy scout hat army cap

Hed finally be prepared

At the age of 17 he was forced to choose

At the age of 21 he's in catch 22

He joined up for just three years

It seemed a small amount

But they didn't tell him

That the first two didn't count

At the age of 17 how was he to know

At the age of 21 he'd still have one to go

Tin soldier

He signed away his name

Tin soldier

No chance for cash or fame

Tin soldier

Now he knows the truth

Tin soldier

He signed away his youth

He joined up 'cos dad knew best

To do right by his son

And now he hates and counts the dates

That mark time on square one

At the age of 17 he was dead and told

At the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold

Tin soldiers

You sign away your name

Tin soldiers

No chance for cash or fame

Tin soldiers

You never see the truth

Tin soldiers

You sign away your youth

At the age of 17 you fall in line too soon

Then at the age of 21 you'll still March to their tune

One two three four

One two three four

One two three four

Tin soldiers

You signed away your name

Tin soldiers

No chance for cash or fame

Tin soldiers

Now you know the truth

Tin soldiers

You sign away your youth

Tin soldiers

You join the queue

Tin soldiers

Do what they want you to

Tin soldiers

They take away your name

Tin soldiers

They treat you all the same

Sign away your life

Sign away your life
