Oh well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama, I don't wanna die
Well, I don't wanna be a sailor, mama, I don't wanna fly
Well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama, I don't wanna cry
Oh well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama, I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama, I don't wanna cry
Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, mama, I don't wanna lie
Oh well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, mama, I don't wanna lie
Well, I don't wanna be a poor man, mama, I don't wanna fly

Oh well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama, I don't wanna die
Well well, I, I wanna be a churchman, mama, I don't wanna fly
Oh well, I don't wanna be a thief now, mama, I don't wanna die
Oh well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama, I don't wanna kill
