Popular spoons sweeten the swoons
You know the drill right up until
They find you don't carry their itinerary aroundIt's such a sad beguiling thing
You've got it bad, it's not a fling
But you can't play the part
Without breaking your own heart into twoOh, I've been a soldier
Of the purest kind you could find
I fought all the devils
That wanted to change me and break me down
Don't look now, look awayThey make the rules, you don't want to sell out
You've got the tools, they don't allow
But they are no boundaries
Just recoupable royalties and menThe lights go out, a thunder roars
A silly thing you can't ignore till you've overstayed
You're welcome with those who've paid for
All your dressing upOh, I've been a soldier
Of the purest kind you could find
I fought and resisted back
When they seduced me and brought me down
Don't look down, look awayOh, can't you see there's nothing to collect?
Oh, but tell me what did you expect?
It's so stupid and selfish all the same
And so sad you can't go againOh, I've been a soldier
Of the purest kind you could find
I fought and resisted
When they tried to change me aroundBut this just become so predictable
It's hard to stay aground
Cut me some slack, never look back
Don't look now, look away
