I don’t want to be a cannon fodder
Says this runaway young man
Well I’ll try to cross the border
As soon as I can
I feel sad 'cause I love my country
But I can't stay here anymore
Well I'm goin' away
I'm leavin' today
I don’t want to go to war
I don’t want to be a faceless soldier
In a war that I don't understand
I’m gonna leave my home and my family
Leave my sweetheart, leave my friends
But I don’t want to kill nobody
And Mister I don’t want to die
Well my time is done
I gotta run run run
You can wish me “Good Luck” and say “Goodbye”
