Stiff Little Fingers
Tin Soldier

He joined up to get a job
And show he wasn't scared
Swapped boy scout hat for army cap
hed finally be prepared
At the age of 17 he was forced to choose
Now at the age of 21 he's in Catch 22

He joined up for just three years
It seemed a small amount
But they didn't tell him
That the first two didn't count
At the age of 17 how was he to know
That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?

(Chorus:)
Tin soldier
He signed away his name
Tin soldier
No chance for cash or fame
Tin soldier
Now he knows the truth
Tin soldier
He signed away his youth

He joined up cos Dad knew best
To do right by his son
Now he hates and counts the dates
That mark time on square one
At the age of 17 he did as he was told
Now at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold

(Chorus)
If at the age of 17 you fall in line too soon
At the age of 21 you'll still march to their tune

Tin soldiers
You sign away your name
No chance for cash or fame
Now you know the truth
You sign away your youth
You go and join the queue
Do what they want you to
They take away your name
They treat you all the same

Sign away your life

Sign away your life


Mirror lyrics:

Sign away your life

Sign away your life

They treat you all the same
They take away your name
Do what they want you to
You go and join the queue
You sign away your youth
Now you know the truth
No chance for cash or fame
You sign away your name
Tin soldiers

At the age of 21 you'll still march to their tune
If at the age of 17 you fall in line too soon
(Chorus)

Now at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold
At the age of 17 he did as he was told
That mark time on square one
Now he hates and counts the dates
To do right by his son
He joined up cos Dad knew best

He signed away his youth
Tin soldier
Now he knows the truth
Tin soldier
No chance for cash or fame
Tin soldier
He signed away his name
Tin soldier
(Chorus:)

That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?
At the age of 17 how was he to know
That the first two didn't count
But they didn't tell him
It seemed a small amount
He joined up for just three years

Now at the age of 21 he's in Catch 22
At the age of 17 he was forced to choose
hed finally be prepared
Swapped boy scout hat for army cap
And show he wasn't scared
He joined up to get a job
