Golden Soldiers

pull on your boots and stand up straight / get back in bed and sleep too late / the battlefield will go unstained / by abandoned tanks and wrecks of planes / if no one cares, then no one fights / and no one falls from brutal heights / into the camps of enemies / with whom they somewhat disagree / golden soldiers ignore the alarms / and your shoulders beg, lay down your arms / is it worth the fight and worth the pain / to lose your right to complain? / let marksmen try their best to miss / their targets will be glad for this / the sad ones stay in sad platoons / they’ll leave behind the trenches soon / the trench is put to better use / by planting seeds that will produce / fine trees carved with initials of / the lucky ones who fall in love / surrender is a noble end / for fights with nothing to defend / and there won’t be reasons for the fight / once soldiers of the world unite
