The Hollies - Soldiers Dilemma

Please, answer my question
Why do I have to go to war?
I don't believe in the government's greed
I find the whole thing a bore

Well, if you think that it's right to fight, well, then fight
Well, please, don't ask me to join in
The trouble were in, how did it begin
Well, please, don't ask me to fight your war

I ain't tired of living
I like to keep in one piece
I don't like the odds you're giving
You ain't having me on a lease

I like to eat three meals a day
In my own lazy way
And you can keep kitchen sweet
That you're giving away for free

Even after I protested
Seems I don't have any choice
You put a gun in my hand now
You say I'm fighting for peace

Well, it's just a lie so why should I die?
For something in which I don't believe
Well, it's so hard when you're shooting at me
Well, all I can do is reply

Please, answer my question
Why do I have to go to war?
I don't believe in the government's greed
I find the whole thing a bore
