All Good Soldiers

All good soldiers crack like boulders
The sun climbs up to a razor
Violins, new boots and numbers on a chain
All good soldiers

All good soldiers
Fall in line when they march and shout
All good soldiers
Are a spectacle marching and singing
"Will go anywhere", the President says
Because the President believes in God
Like all good soldiers should

All good soldiers wait like warheads
When the fighting starts
Who will be accountable, a cannibal, a cannonball
All good soldiers, all good soldiers

All good soldiers
Fall in line when they march and shout
All good soldiers
Are a spectacle marching and singing
"Will go anywhere", the President says
Because the President believes in God
Like all good soldiers should

It's six A.M. I could see my breath
And the clay dirt is laughing at the weakling boy
Today is the day that I'll write my friends
It's something I've been trying to remember
I had a dream of a wall that was twenty-one storeys tall

All
All good soldiers
Fall in line when they march and shout
All good soldiers
Are a spectacle marching and singing
"Will go anywhere", the President says
Because the President believes in God
Like all good soldiers should
