[Verse 1]
A little boy looks at his diorama
And places down a figurine, in the middle of a brutal war scene
The soldier's not for either side
But as the boy turns out the lights, the scene comes to life, and
Everybody starts to fight
[Chorus]
Little toy soldier
Throws down his gun
Lays down in the crossfire
'cause the battle can't be won
Little toy soldier
Forced to grow up
'cause he had to learn
How to save himself and duck
[Verse 2]
He's been trying to find himself lately
But he feels suffocated by his army fatigue
He's tried with all his heart to be neutral
He's also k**ed himself trying to find reasons to take a side
[Bridge]
But he knows the second that he chooses one or the other
Half of him would've died
[Chorus]
Little toy soldier
Throws down his gun
Lays down in the crossfire
'cause the battle can't be won
Little toy soldier
Forced to grow up
'cause he had to learn
How to save himself and duck
And the second he chooses, half of himself will die...
