Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Klaus if you're gettin' fed up with playin' the same beat, you know"
"No, no the thing is I was already set to do it
I just wanted to play the start of it, you know"
"I was just rehearsin' it but, you know
Four"
[Verse 2]
Oh, well
I don't wanna be a soldier, mama
I don't wanna die
Well, I don't wanna be a sailor, mama
I don't wanna dive
Well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama
I don't wanna cry
Oh, well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama
I don't wanna die
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna be a boy yeah , mama
I don't wanna lie
Oh, well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, mama
I don't wanna lie
Well, I don't wanna be a poor man, mama
I don't wanna fly
[Verse 4]
Oh, well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama
I don't wanna die
Oh, well, I, I wanna be a churchman, mama
I don't wanna fly
Oh, well, I don't wanna be a thief now, mama
I don't wanna die
Oh, well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama
I don't wanna kill
[Verse 5]
"Alright, it were...alright I was lookin' for the thing I dropped"
[Verse 6]
"Could you stand another?"
