Hozier - Nobody's Soldier Lyrics

Hozier Lyrics

"Nobody's Soldier"

Running with bulls
Working my miracles
Holding my world together with a boot string
Living the dream
Benzos and gasoline
Coffee and blue light screens till the morning

If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
And I don't wanna

Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

Sick to my skin
Watching the news again
Whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one

If I say that this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
And I don't wanna

Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

Nobody's soldier
Mmm, being a butcher
Nobody's soldier
Or a pauper, I'm
Nobody's soldier
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

I don't wanna
Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier
