Soldier Lyrics

Calling on you, belladonna
Poison to prepare
Now you're gone I float along
Like embers in the air
How could you understand?

Rain your armies down upon me
March across my back
Now or never, no surrender
Until your flag goes black
How could you understand?
How could you understand?

Am I the soldier that you want me to be?
Crawling on my hands and knees
Under attack
Under attack again

Am I the soldier that you want me to be?
Running from my enemy
Under attack
Under attack again

On your orders, bricks and mortar
Kingdoms to defend
Saints and sinners make good prisoners
Now your king is dead
How could you understand?

Am I the soldier that you want me to be?
Crawling on my hands and knees
Under attack
Under attack again

Am I the soldier that you want me to be?
Running from my enemy
Under attack
Under attack again

Under attack
Under attack
Under attack

Am I the soldier that you want me to be?
Crawling on my hands and knees
Under attack
Under attack again

Am I the soldier that you want me to be?
Running from my enemy
Under attack
Under attack
Under attack
Under attack
Under attack
Under attack again

About

The song “Soldier” by Foo Fighters was written in order to support Planned Parenthood. The song came from a compilation album entitled, 7-inches for Planned Parenthood which, along with Foo Fighters, included unreleased music from artists such as Bon Iver, Björk, John Legend, CHVRCHES, and St. Vincent to name a few. It even has a song by comedian, Zach Galifianakis—the song is currently not on Genius. In total, the album consists of 30 tracks from 36 different artists.

From a Rolling Stone article on the album, the creative team had the following statement: “Lawmakers with extreme views are working hard to shut down Planned Parenthood. If they succeed, millions of Americans will lose access to basic health services, including STD testing and treatment, birth control, and life-saving cancer screenings. 7-inches for Planned Parenthood is a response to this threat.”
