INTRO: A
VERSE 1:
A G
I could be a soldier, go out there and fight to save this land
A G
Be a people's soldier, paramilitary gun in hand
A G
I won't be a soldier, I won't take no orders from no one
A G
Stuff their fuckin' armies, killing isn't my idea of fun
CHORUS:
E A E A
And they wanna waste my life, they wanna waste my time
E A G D A
They wanna waste my life and they've stolen it away
VERSE 2:
A G
I could be a hero, live and die for their important cause
A G
A united nation or an independent state with laws
A G
And rules and regulations that merely cause disturbances and wars
A G
And that's what I have got now all thanks to the freedom seeking hoards
CHORUS:
E A E A
And they wanna waste my life, they wanna waste my time
E A G D A
They wanna waste my life and they've stolen it away

BRIDGE:
F# E F# E
I'm not gonna be taken in, they said if I don't join I just can't win
F# E F# G#
I've heard that story many times before and every time I've thrown it out the door
BREAK: C# > D > D# > E A E A E A G D A
VERSE 3:
A G
Still they come up to me, with a different name and same old face
A G
I can see the connection with another time and another place
A G
No they ain't blond haired or blue eyed but they think that they're the master race
A G
They're nothing but blind fascists, brought up to hate and given lives to waste
CHORUS:
E A E A
And they wanna waste my life, they wanna waste my time
E A G D A
They wanna waste my life and they've stolen it away, what they wanna do
CHORUS:
E A E A
They wanna waste my life, they wanna waste my time
E A G D A
They wanna waste my life and they've stolen it away
