He joined up to get a jobAnd show he wasn't scaredSwapped boy scout hat for army capHe thought he'd be preparedAt the age of 17 he was forced to chooseAt the age of 21 he's in Catch 22He joined up for just three yearsIt seemed a small amountBut they didn't tell him thatThe first two didn't countAt the age of 17 how was he to knowThat at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?Tin soldierHe signed away his nameTin soldierNo chance for cash or fameTin soldierNow he knows the truthTin soldierHe signed away his youthHe joined up 'cause Dad knew bestTo do right by his sonAnd now he hates and counts the datesThat mark time on square oneAt the age of 17 he did as he was toldNow at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to goldTin soldierHe signed away his nameTin soldierNo chance for cash or fameTin soldierNow he knows the truthTin soldierHe signed away his youthIf at the age of 17 you fall in line too soonThen at the age of 21 you'll still march to their tuneOne, two, three, four One, two, three, four One, two, three, four One, two, three, four Tin soldiers, you signed away your nameTin soldiers, no chance for cash or fameTin soldiers, now you know the truthTin soldiers, you sign away your youthTin soldiers, you go and join the queueTin soldiers, do what they want you toTin soldiers, they take away your nameTin soldiers, they treat you all the sameSign away your life Sign away your life
