Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a sailor, Mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a failure, Mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no

[Verse 2]

Well, I don't wanna be a rich man, Mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a poor man, Mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, Mama, I don't wanna lie

Well, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, hit it

[Verse 3]

Well, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a thief now, Mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a churchman, Mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a solider, Mama, I don't wanna lie

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, hit it

[Verse 4]

Oh, well, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a sailor, Mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a failure, Mama, I don't wanna cry

Oh, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no

Oh, no, oh, no, hit it

[Verse 5]

Well, I don't wanna be a rich man, Mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a poor man, Mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, Mama, I don't wanna lie

Well, I don't wanna be a solider Mama I don't wanna die

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, hit it

[Verse 6]

Yeah, let's go and hear the mess we're makin'
