Nobody’s Soldier Songtext
von Hozier

Running with bulls, working my miracles
Holding my world together with a boot string
Living the dream, Benzos and gasoline
Coffee and blue light screens ′til the morning

If I tell you this is drowning, you'd tell me I′m walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain, you'd tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna

Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older, let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I′m taking no orders, I′m gonna be nobody's soldier


Sick to my skin, watching the news again
Whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one

If I say that this is drowning, you′d tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain, you′d tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna

Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older, let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I′m taking no orders, I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

(Nobody′s soldier) Mmm, being a butcher
(Nobody′s soldier) or a pauper, I'm
(Nobody′s soldier) I'm gonna be nobody′s soldier

I don't wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older, let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I′m taking no orders, gonna be nobody's soldier
