Gangs/The Army. Both the same.

lyrics

You tell him you're his spirit guide from heaven
You put him into service for your cause
If he ever turns away
You'll make him regret the day
You'll curse him and you'll ban him from the brethren.

You tell him he's your brother to make him love you
He gives his blood to help you because he cares
You move into his head, you buy him boots of lead
But still he puts nobody else above you.

Killer, striker, trooper, fighter, warrior, sniper:
Soldier Joe.
You build him up, you break him down, you chase his ass right out fo town
He gives you love, he gives you his life
You pay him back with a cold steel knife in his heart.

And now he's at your mercy, you're his controller
When you give the signal then he moves
With orders from above
You disconnect his love
Born to need a leader, he's a soldier.

Killer, striker, trooper, fighter, warrior, sniper:
Soldier Joe.
You build him up, you break him down, you chase his ass right out fo town
He gives you love, he gives you his life
You pay him back with a cold steel knife in his heart.
