[Verse 1] I'd like to join the army, don't want to join the war I'd take my place in line hell, never go AWOL We keep on marching forward, never will retreat Don't let the enemy inside you, that's the beginning of defeat [Pre-Chorus 1] All good soldiers stand to arms All good soldiers try so hard To follow orders, never asking why [Chorus] I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension So ill at ease with you Afraid to make a move, yeah [Verse 2] Now a shaky finger on the trigger, ready, aim to please Now how can such a little bullet drop big soldier to his knees? There's no warning, only waiting when a Strangelove drops the bomb All this fighting it can hurt you, but its the little wounds that do the harm [Pre-Chorus 2] All good soldiers stand to arms One good solider tries so hard He follows orders never questioning why Never questioning why [Chorus] I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension So ill at ease with you Afraid to make a move, yeah [Pre-Chorus 3] All good soldiers stand to arms All good soldiers try so hard To follow orders, never asking why They're never asking why [Chorus] I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension I'm standing at tension So ill at ease with you Afraid to make a move, yeah
