Ακόμα μια καίρια συμβολή του stcigar στο αντιπολεμικό μας αφιέρωμα, το τραγούδι αυτό του John Cale από τα τέλη της δεκαετίας του ’70. Πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε στο κλασικό άλμπουμ Sabotage/Live, τέλη 1979 και λίγους μήνες αργότερα σαν επτάιντσο single, σε πιο συμπαγή μορφή, την οποία και ακούμε. Το συγκεριμένο, studio track είναι “εξαφανισμένο” έκτοτε, μη έχοντας εμφανισθεί ποτέ σε άλμπουμ. Another key contribution by stcigar to our anti-war tribute, this song by John Cale from the late 1970s. It was first released on his classic album Sabotage/Live at the end of 1979, and a few months later as a 7″ single, in a more compact form — which is the version we’re listening to. This particular studio track has since “disappeared” and has never appeared on any album since.

I ‘m just another soldier boy
Just another soldier boy
Looking for work
Looking for work
Looking for work
My rifle is my friend
My rifle is my friend
I clean my rifle everyday
I clean my rifle everyday
That’s why my rifle is my friend
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
I did some work in Zaire, the jolly old Belgian Congo
Went back to Geneva to get paid
Back up in Geneva, that’s were the money flows
That’s were the money flows, were the money grows
They didn’t wanna pay me
They didn’t wanna pay me, but they did
Try to separate me from my money
As I separate me from my life
Ready for war, ready for war
Ready for war, ready for war
Let’s go to Moscow, let’s go to terrain
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go to the terrain
Find the backdoor to the merges
Put it down and walk on in
Say halehaliduda halehaliduda let’s go must go, must go Moscow must go, must go to Moscow
