  • All good soldiers crack like boulders
    The sun climbs up to a razon violins, new boots, and numbers on a chain
    All good soldiers

    All good (soldiers)
    Fall in line when they march and shout
    All good (soldiers)
    Are a spectacle marching and singing
    Will go anywhere the president says
    Because the president believes in god
    Like all good soldiers should

    All good soldiers wait like warheads
    When the fighting starts who will be accountable, a cannibal, a cannonball
    All good soldiers
    All good soldiers

    All good (soldiers)
    Fall in line when they march and shout
    All good (soldiers)
    Are a spectacle marching and singing
    Will go anywhere the president says
    Because the president believes in god
    Like all good soldiers should

    It's 6 AM I can see my breath
    And the clay dirt is laughing at the weakling boy
    Today is the day
    That I'll write my friends
    Its something I've been trying to remember
    I had a dream of a wall
    That was twenty-one stories tall

    All good (soldiers)
    Fall in line when they march and shout
    All good (soldiers)
    Are a spectacle marching and singing
    Will go anywhere the president says
    Because the president believes in god
    Like all good soldiers should Writer/s: Brett Gurewitz
