Part Time Soldier
(lyrics Karl Allison/music Marc Harry)
He’s a part time soldier but he doesn’t want to win the war.
He doesn’t like the fighting or know what he’s fighting for.
He’s a part time soldier and he loves to wear his uniform
But he backs away from danger and he shivers in the storm...
Run away !
You never stay !
You missed the whole !
Every soul a battlefield !
He’s a part time soldier but he’s never even shot to kill.
He’s only in the Army because he’s got some hours to kill.
He’s a part time soldier but he doesn’t want to get involved.
He thinks if he looks important all his problems will be solved...
Run away !
You never stay !
You missed the whole !
Every soul a battlefield !
There is a time that will come when all our enemies are strong
And we will be rejected and accused.
In that day we must stand tall - in that day we’ll need to heed the battle-call
And none of us can be excused.
ARE YOU READY ?
He’s a part time soldier but when the bullets start to fly
He loses motivation and he doesn’t even try.
He’s a part time soldier but his image comes before the fight
And Satan must be looking on and laughing at the sight !
Run away !
You never stay !
You missed the whole !
Every soul a battlefield !
ARE YOU READY ?
