(Downes/Payne)
The fighting's over now
There's nowhere left to run
My ammunition's out
I'd better put down my gun
And as I face this life of fear
I'd better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind I'm out of it
And I ain't never coming back

[Chorus:]
So don't come running here to find me
'Cos I'm a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man

The architects of time
Are calling me
But I don't believe it
Necessarily
And as I face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head I'm out of it
But I'm still never coming back

[Chorus]

I'm a military man
Just a military man yes I am
