Tin Soldier (tin Man) Lyrics - Singles - Gypsy Kyss

Young boy soldier's got everything he needs 

He's got a gun on his shoulder 

and a badge on his sleeve 

He's got boots and grenades 

and knitted mittens that his mother made him 

Hey boy watcha' doin' out here? 

You look a little squeemish 

and you're so full of fear 

You're too young to die 

in a war full of questions 

whose answer is why 

Tin soldier 

Tin man 

Enemy soldier's got everything he needs 

He slips a gun on his shoulder 

as he bows to his knees 

He ain't afraid to die 

For his government he'd give his life 

Hey boy watcha' doin' out there? 

You're running like a madman 

with a wild-eyed stare 

So you're afraid of nothin' 

Well step inside these boots 

and I'll show you something 

You're a tin soldier 

Tin man 

"Attention!!! 

It's off to battle for you boys 

Let's show'em what we're made of! 

Let's teach'em about democracy 

and our way of thinking 

Yep, let's kick some ass out there boys 

Show them bastards what freedom's all about!" 

Yep, that's America 

I wanna go home 

I wanna go home sweet home 

Where I know who and what I'm fighting for 

Where I know who's a friend 

and who to avoid 

Where I know what I'm doing 

and why I'm doing it 

So what the hell am I doing out here???
