  • Soldier, soldier
    We signed our lives away
    Complete surrender
    The only weapon we know
    Soldier soldier
    We knew the world would never be the same
    Solider, this is where you can reach me now

    We come from an ancient place
    Beyond what we can see
    We've come to colonize your night
    And steal your poetry

    Old man knows that I never listen
    So how could I have something to say
    Old man knows how to cheat ambition
    You don't lose if you don't play

    1 2 3 4 was enough

    Soldier, soldier
    We signed our lives away
    Complete surrender
    The only weapon we know
    Soldier soldier
    We knew the world would never be the same
    Solider, this is where you can reach me now

    On a double decker bus
    Into College Square
    If you won't let us in your world
    Your world just isn't there

    Old man says that we never listen
    We shout about what we don't know
    We're taking the path of most resistance
    The only way for us to go

    Hup 2 3 4 was enough

    Soldier, soldier
    We signed our lives away
    Complete surrender
    The only weapon we know
    Soldier soldier
    We knew the world would never be the same
    Solider, this is where you can reach me now

    This is the sign
    This is the season
    This is where you can reach me now
    This is the time
    This is the number
    This is where you can reach me now
    Oh oh oh Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
