e-mail: Please listen to the song for timing of chord switches my chord placement is not in time with the lyrics Ha. Ha. Ha. Gotta get out gotta shout gotta sing Gotta dance gotta jump gotta run Think I’ll fight a war I don’t know what for But I’ll learn when I get my gun Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed Open book thoughts and a new religion Burning through my head Burning through my head Made my way with the fusiliers I even fought my way back home But the front line shifted and my rifle got lifted Had to fight the war on my own Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed Water downtown gave me cold cold fingers And my feet were made of lead My feet were made of lead I’ll just eat fruit on your doorstep I’ll just drink pailfulls of rain I’m but a barnacled warship Singing the fighter’s refrain Singing the fighter’s Made my way with the Salvation Army Take them on with a tambourine I’ll strike down sinners like the old gunslingers Smooth ’em out like margerine Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed Open book thoughts and a new religion Burning through my head Burning through my head Went to the gambling shop today They had me five to one Heard a voice behind me say Put down the Bible and pick up your gun Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed Water downtown gave me cold cold fingers And my feet were made of lead My feet were made of lead I’ll just eat fruit on your doorstep I’ll just drink pailfulls of rain I’m but a barnacled warship Singing the fighter’s refrain Singing the fighter’s

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un voyage intérieur, celui d'un personnage qui s'engage dans un combat dont il ne comprend pas totalement les raisons. Il ressent une poussée irrésistible à se battre, malgré la fatigue qui le taraude depuis qu'il a quitté son chez-soi. À travers ses pensées désordonnées, il lutte avec des idées nouvelles qui brûlent dans son esprit, tout en réalisant que la réalité du conflit doit être affrontée seul. Dans ce parcours, il fait référence à la lutte entre l'ancien et le nouveau, sa quête d'identité et sa marginalité, symbolisée par son image de navire barnacé, marqué par les épreuves. Ce mélange d’images de guerre, de spiritualité, et de solitude crée un tableau poignant d’un individu en quête de sens dans un monde chaotique.
