Soldier of fortune 
you go wherever the call is 
soldier of fortune 
you go wherever it is 
thirty three and a third 
revolutions per minute 
bright lights go through his head 
gonna bring down the government 
gonna write to that girl 
but first he puts on his walkman instead 
retreats to a world where no one can hurt him 
at least till the batteries die 
soldier of fortune . . . 
revolutions per minute! 
A thousand miles an hour! 
This is another call to arms 
do you know where you're going? 
Do you know what you're doing? 
Or are you gonna stick to your guns? 
But he made a vow that he would never run away 
I am a lonely soldier boy 
thousands of miles from my home 
soldier of fortune . . . 
not me
