[Verse 1]
Young, awake and disturbed
On the run from the world
(Runnin' for my life, runnin’ for my)
Wicked's on every corner
Every day is a warzone
(All they do is lie, all they do is lie)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
At night I reach for safer grounds
And dream about a place
Where rain is soft
At times I want to raise the dead
Bring them to their doorstep saying
[Chorus]
We're not soldiers, we’re not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin’ for ya
[Verse 2]
One bullet for my mother
My sister and brother
(Don’t push me out of line, push me out of)
Give my life to a stranger
My blood on their paycheck
(Don't push me out of line, push me out of)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wrote this tragic symphony
So take a seat and please enjoy the show
(Oh, we know you’ll stay home)
Don't you worry, we will play it
Loud enough for you to hear that
[Chorus]
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We’ll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya
[Bridge]
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya
[Chorus]
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya
[Outro]
We're not soldiers, we're not soldiers
We'll be comin' for ya, comin' for ya

While at the 2018 Norwegian Grammy Awards, Amanda said,
“Soldiers” handler om mennesker som havner i situasjoner og kamper som de hverken har lyst til eller fortjener å være en del av.
Translation:
“Soldiers” is about people who end up in situations and battles that they neither want nor deserve...
