Текст песни: Toy Soldiers + перевод

Toy soldiers made of tin

painted red and gold

When you’re on the march,

you be stiff as starch,

you’re very, very, bold.

Spent your nights and days

getting laid

drinking hip held brandy

Bet you never thought

the things that you were taught

would’ve come in handy.

Were they childhood dreams

and silver screens

that dulled your mind?

Is that what led you to believe

you could lift the moon out of the sky?

And what can we do,

but deny,

that trouble sticks to human kind.

Families and histories

are scattering like black-eyed peas…

Release us please.

From this strong hold.

Release us for the cinder cannot hold.

That’s why we are just

Winging it just like this for now…

Just by

Singing it just like this somehow…

I know (I know)

That the tables will turn somehow…

Meanwhile we’re winging it by singing it

just for the hell of it

We’ll be doing it

just like this.

We are de-condemned

We carry beacons of spiritual high learning

We spread the good news

in shiny shoes

to increase our earning.

I tip my hat to you,

respect is due,

you brave men and women,

to abandon the idea

after all these years

that there might be a heaven.

The Owl and the moon discussed

a … brave enough to shine

like Obediah,

through the fire,

to sacrifice to be refined.

And what, what, what are we gonna do,

but deny,

that trouble sticks to human kind.

Families like bees and histories

are scattering like black-eyed peas…

Release me please (scattering like black-eyed peas).

From this strong hold.

Release us please

for the cinder can not hold.

That’s why we are just

Winging it just like this for now…

Just by

Singing it just like this somehow…

I know (I know)

That the tables will turn somehow…

Meanwhile we’re winging it by singing it

just for the hell of it

We’ll be doing it

just like this.

Meanwhile we’re winging it by singing it

just for the hell of it

We’ll be doing it

just like this.

Meanwhile we’re winging it by singing it

just for the hell of it

We’ll be doing it

just like this.

Meanwhile we’re winging it by singing it

just for the hell of it

We’ll be doing it

just like that.
