Military man got his armour on,
Molten machine, got his loaded gun,
Paying his dues on a foreign shore,
Just another day playing games of war.

For this is the end of the military man,
For this is the end of the military man,
Yeah, a military man,
Oh, military man.

Yeah, yeah.

Military man got his demons laughing, pushing him over the sanity brink,
Horizons are changing, train's derailing,
His iron ship's begun to sink.

For this is the end of the military man,
For this is the end of the military man,
Oh, a military man,
Oh, military man.

Ooh.

Saw the light from the man above,
His heart pierced by a sword of love,
Oh, the military man.

Yeah, yeah.

Considering chances in a nuclear zone,
Hard to live life beneath the battle's drone,
Silver syringe caught his victim napping,
Slapping him 'round, a broken life on loan,
He caught sight of the future shock,
Defences crushed beneath the risen rock,
Oh yeah, the risen rock, yeah, yeah.

No more doing time,
He tasted the new wine,
No more reason to fight, no more military man,
No more military man,
No, more...more military man,
No more military man,
No more military man.
