Here Lies a Soldier (Radio 1 Exclusive) Lyrics by Jun Tzu

The Troubles

2014

I need you's all to listen to this one
Turn it up a wee bit in the headphones for me
This song here
Is a very personal tune, you know
This song is about all the people
That have passed away in the struggles
Doesn't matter where you're from
Doesn't matter what side of the divide
What side of the walls you're from
What Country you're from
This is a song about people
That have laid down their lives
For what they seen as a just cause
Whether you agree or not, you know
Just respect the lives
That were lost
And all the struggles in the troubles
And in the world
This song is called here lies a soldier
Exclusive for Radio 1
Charlie Sloth
Fire in the booth...
Wait to ye' hear
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls me
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls
I don't know if i can do this anymore
I've been down this same road
Many times before
I'm having dreams
I'm gonna die before I'm twenty four
You will fall to my knees
And pray God's gonna help me
Because the world doesn't care about the poor
It only cares about the wealthy
We need to play our positions
We need to keep each other healthy
Am I my brothers keeper?
Yes I am
I play the hand that was dealt me
Because I'm trapped in this maze
And I'm not talking 'bout the prison
My da was in back in the days
I'm talking 'bout me
My own personal ways
Been a victim of my own grief
I've saw people die
Witnessed terrible murders up in these cold streets
Too many funerals
Too many tears
Dedicated to the families and to their peers
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls me
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls
I've stood at too many funerals
Over the years
Dressed in black suits
And wearing new shoes
Burying my peers
Staring deep down the grave
From underneath my tears
People die
People grow old
And people grow beards
And people cry
'cause people don't know from where the evil appears
But people try, it's just the evil's severe
And no one seems to know
The reason why we're here
Everybody's just walkin' round this giant sphere
Pickin' fights with each other and buying beer
Watchin' television and dyin' of fear
Terrorism's on the television
Yet again
People can't you see
That we the people need to change
People always like to blame the leaders
But it's us
We're the people that we need to blame
I believe in the cause
And I believe that we'll prevail
Believe me
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls me
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls me
The sectarian violence in the silence
Was never silent
Because the tyrants
Divided the Bibles
And lied to us
And then provided us with vileness
The media continually riled us
Everyday upon their TV screens
They defiled us
Promotin' images that blind us
We created this war
And left the people mindless
Vigilantism rises
Next thing kids are getting killed in drive bys
Is it ever gonna change
When the propaganda multiplies it
Should I get myself involved
No, I don't advise it
I wouldn't wana have to stand
And read your graves inscribment
Here lies a soldier
Another victim of the troubles
In Northern Ireland
Just another statistic
Just another folder
Nowadays everybody's trying to paint the perfect picture
But nothing's over
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls me
Here lies a soldier of the cause
A soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground
He calls me
This song is dedicated to all the men
That have laid down their lives
All the men that have suffered and died
In the wars of mankind
This song is dedicated to the women
All the women that have suffered
And to the children
To the children that were starved
And affected by the troubles
Just want ye's to take a wee minute
Remember all the folk that have passed away
All the boys
All the ladies
All the kids
Show a bit of respect, you know
