Lyrics for Golden Soldiers

Sun on my face and I can feel it glow Some would draw the curtains Sometimes I'd like to smash those windows open Sun on my face and I can feel it glow I could be so golden - Shine in the dead of night for you I could be a criminal - And lead a life of crime for you I could be so golden - Shine in the dead of night for you I could be a soldier - And I could go to war for you I won't give up a good fight With talk of passive action And when the first comes down I'd provide the opposite reaction Won't give up a good fight With talk of passive action I could be so golden - Shine in the dead of night for you I could be a criminal - And lead a life of crime for you I could be so golden - Shine in the dead of night I could be a soldier - And I could go to war for you Pour me night and day in equal quantity And I will drink to those who sacrifice that part for me But I could be so golden - Shine in the dead of night for you I could be a criminal - And lead a life of crime for you I could be so golden - Shine in the dead of night for you I could be a soldier - And I could go to war for you
