Lyrics (from genius): [Verse 1] Running with bulls Working my miracles Holding my world together with a boot string Living the dream Benzos and gasoline Coffee and blue light screens till the morning [Pre-Chorus] If I tell you this is drowning You tell me I'm walking on water I could bring fire from the mountain You tell me it feels a little colder I don't wanna [Chorus] Choose between being a salesman or a soldier Just let me look a little older Let me step a little bolder Choose between being a butcher or a pauper Honey, I'm taking no orders Gonna be Nobody's Soldier [Verse 2] Sick to my skin Watching thе news again Whatever you choosе, you lose out in the long run The paint on the walls Come down like a waterfall The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one [Pre-Chorus] If I say that this is drowning You tell me I'm walking on water I could bring fire from the mountain You tell me it feels a little colder I don't wanna [Chorus] Choose between being a salesman or a soldier Just let me look a little older Let me step a little bolder Choose between being a butcher or a pauper Honey, I'm taking no orders Gonna be Nobody's Soldier [Bridge] (Nobody's Soldier) Mm, being a butcher (Nobody's Soldier) Or a pauper, I'm (Nobody's Soldier) I'm gonna be Nobody's Soldier [Chorus] I don't wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier Just let me look a little older Let me step a little bolder Choose between being a butcher or a pauper Honey, I'm taking no orders Gonna be Nobody's Soldier
When he released take me to church a decade ago and had the catholic church shaking in their boots, I knew I had found an artist I was going to listen to the rest of my life
Fellow Americans and all humans on Earth, please take this message to heart: don't let the butchers militarize our hearts with hatred for each other. Take no orders! Be nobody's soldier! Thank the universe for Hozier, speaking truths
"if i tell you this is drowning, you tell me I'm walking on water" How they're trying to convince people that what's happening isn't a gen0cide, the propaganda, the brain washing the denial... This entire song means so much during these times we're living in 🍉✊🏻
This was amazing to hear and see at his concert I had the pleasure of attending recently. If you are on the fence with him coming through- buy the tickets. The performance of himself and his band are absolutely stunning.
Hozi, my dude, my guy, home skillet. I'm still out here processing Wasteland, Baby. Your music makes my brain go cosmic and I can barely handle it. I need us to go back to the one album every 5 years thing. For my own sanity. I beg of you. Please.
The many layers this man puts into his words are so fucking beautiful. I can't believe I want to boogy and shake to a song about the atrocities of man, and how we HAVE to be better. What a fucking artist!
Me too. Take me to church: my ex died … Too sweet: current ex (I honestly only grab dirt since then huh?) didn’t want me but now won’t leave me alone And now this: But I use it as „I don’t want to be nobody’s soldier“. But the drowning part! Literally being told how privileged I am, Even though I lost my best friend, My twin soul. And all my friends after, my parents are really sick (both), rest is gone, And my landlord is creepy af but I can’t even move again because I know only people who also don’t like me. Had to tell somebody but

Just saw Hozier in Kansas. A friend told me he is an artist that sounds better live. It is not like I doubted her, however now after living it I understand. He played this song in his set❤love all the new music!
This song hits different.. it's like he's telling us that he can't keep up with the demands of the public and the expectations we've put on him, in correlation to the pressure that big music is also probably putting on him. He's telling us he's tired of fighting between what he wants to do and what he's expected to do. Edit: I also see the very blatant references to whats going on in the world today, but I also saw this hidden meaning behind the words as well.
this song is something else- i want to scream it so devouringly loud from the top of my lungs. thank you, Andrew, you delivered a masterpiece once again😭
Here Here! I have a playlist that I throw at my lazy friends now because it's like you need to convince someone to listen across albums that way otherwise they'll only listen to 1 or 2 songs.

This glorious man has never written a bad song
Fr
That is so true
OMSS
Well at least never released one!
EVER
Lyrics (from genius):
[Verse 1]
Running with bulls
Working my miracles
Holding my world together with a boot string
Living the dream
Benzos and gasoline
Coffee and blue light screens till the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna
[Chorus]
Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be Nobody's Soldier
[Verse 2]
Sick to my skin
Watching thе news again
Whatever you choosе, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one
[Pre-Chorus]
If I say that this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna
[Chorus]
Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be Nobody's Soldier
[Bridge]
(Nobody's Soldier) Mm, being a butcher
(Nobody's Soldier) Or a pauper, I'm
(Nobody's Soldier) I'm gonna be Nobody's Soldier
[Chorus]
I don't wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be Nobody's Soldier
Thank you! ❤
Bro was quick with it. Thanks.
Thanks
Wow 🤯 🤩
❤❤❤
When he released take me to church a decade ago and had the catholic church shaking in their boots, I knew I had found an artist I was going to listen to the rest of my life
Reuben PFP detected. :3
haha church bad give me likes
🙄
SAME
@@LeftJoystick you're so clever and funny. I'm sure that emoji really stuck it to op
i didn't realize that was his until last year- when i got obsessed with eat your young and work song through my friend. i love his songs so much
Slipped and fell in the shower dancing to this song, totally worth it.
But are you OK??? That would send my arthritic ass to the ER. 😂😂😂😂
NO FOR REAL. I FELL OFF MY CHAIR LISTENING TO THIS
That bass lick lives rent free in my head
I need Unreal Unearth + Unheard + Unaired in one CD
Real
Expeditiously
Saaaame
YES omg please im begging
I can't help but feel like he took "I don't dream of labour" very personal
Thank you for this banger!
The world absolutely needs this song right now. The anti-war late 60’s vibe of this song is perfection.
And perfect for today - palestine, congo, sudan. Everything about this song ufff
FINALLY, HOZIER MY LIFE IS YOURSSSSS
SO GLAD I DIDN’T SLEEP TONIGHT
Real though-
Fr
Me too haha
It's worth the eyebags!!
For real!! 12:50
Honey wake up Hozier posted more music
Not even five seconds in and I’m already head banging 🤙
No LITERALLY
Fellow Americans and all humans on Earth, please take this message to heart: don't let the butchers militarize our hearts with hatred for each other. Take no orders! Be nobody's soldier!
Thank the universe for Hozier, speaking truths
i love this song so much it makes me weep
Screaming crying throwing up
Me when I see The Avatar on my island:
A tame reaction
Me when I’ll hear this live 😭
what
"omg it happening, everybody stay calm. What's the procedure? STAY JSJKD CALM" ❤❤❤
This made me laugh out loud.
"thank you, hozier" we say in unison
Thank you, hozier
"if i tell you this is drowning, you tell me I'm walking on water" How they're trying to convince people that what's happening isn't a gen0cide, the propaganda, the brain washing the denial... This entire song means so much during these times we're living in 🍉✊🏻
from the river to the sea 🍉🍉🍉🍉
Seeing this live has made it ten times cooler than it already was. I love this.
Same friend! It came out of nowhere at the concert last week and was absolutely blown away
So jealous. He didn’t play it at mine. 😭
FORGET SLEEP. HOZIER DANCE PARTY HAS COMMENCED.
This was amazing to hear and see at his concert I had the pleasure of attending recently. If you are on the fence with him coming through- buy the tickets. The performance of himself and his band are absolutely stunning.
I wanna go to one of his concerts soo bad😭 unfortunately I don’t have the money but when I do! Lemme tell you, tickets will be the first thing I buy
@@honey.blossom456 I went last week and tickets were $61 ea for where we were. It was a great time.
Saw your comment and just bought a ticket. I'll have to travel but we'll deal with that when we get to that stage 😭
So trueee!!! Heard this live unreleased in Lincoln and it was so cool!
I want to go to one of his concerts too but i live in europe. So he has to come to europe so i can go.
Never been this early to Hozier but I've been hearing the clips of Nobody's Soldier and I can't wait
THE INSTRUMENTAL ATEEEE
Tame imapla vibes 👻
we definitely have another number one on our hands
Yesss
Let’s make it happen 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
100 percent this is insane
Hozi, my dude, my guy, home skillet. I'm still out here processing Wasteland, Baby. Your music makes my brain go cosmic and I can barely handle it. I need us to go back to the one album every 5 years thing. For my own sanity. I beg of you. Please.
🤣🤣. So true
IM LIKE 3 SECONDS IN AND ITS ALREADY SICKENING OMG
That chorus has me ascending
The fact that this song hasn’t reached one million yet is a crime. A CRIME
The official video has almost 2 million views
It’s giving, rock legend from the 70s! Hozier will go down as one of the greats in our generation 100%
"Thank you Hozier" we all say in union
JAMMING TO THIS IN MY KITCHEN WITH MY ICE CREAM, LIFE IS PERFECT
The infamy of being condemned to choose between two evils. I love the lyrics this man writes more than my own life
This will be on repeat for the next several months! I am obsessed! Thank you
The many layers this man puts into his words are so fucking beautiful. I can't believe I want to boogy and shake to a song about the atrocities of man, and how we HAVE to be better. What a fucking artist!
This was released on my birthday and I’m letting it go straight to my head because he’s genuinely my favorite singer 😭💚
hozier really just dropped two of the best EPs ever in one year..
How do this man's lyrics always resonate? If I have a soul it's vibrating in tune rn.
Me too.
Take me to church: my ex died
…
Too sweet: current ex (I honestly only grab dirt since then huh?) didn’t want me but now won’t leave me alone
And now this:
But I use it as „I don’t want to be nobody’s soldier“.
But the drowning part!
Literally being told how privileged I am,
Even though I lost my best friend,
My twin soul. And all my friends after, my parents are really sick (both), rest is gone,
And my landlord is creepy af but I can’t even move again because I know only people who also don’t like me.
Had to tell somebody but
Running with bulls
Working my miracles
Holding my world together with a boot string
Living the dream
Benzos and gasoline
Coffee and blue light screens till the morning
If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
And I don't wanna
Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier
Sick to my skin
Watching the news again
Whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one
If I say that this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
And I don't wanna
Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier
Nobody's soldier
Mmm, being a butcher
Nobody's soldier
Or a pauper, I'm
Nobody's soldier
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier
I don't wanna
Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier
His voice is just amazing
OMG, IM NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS IN AND IM ALREADY IN LOVE WITH IT
The beat, the rhythm, the vocals, The Andrew!!!! *nods
"Sick to my skin watching the news again"is such a realistic line.It's one of my fav line❤
Thank you forest daddy😂
YES ANDREW. THANK YOU FOR FEEDING US!!
This has a lot of orchestral/cinematic/big band energy. It's not Hozier's normal vibe, but it absolutely rocks
This sounds like the most joyful soul mixed with opening up the gates of Mordor. Amazing!!!
i'm falling in love with his music all over again
this man cannot stop popping off every time he released a song it goes on the soundtrack
HELL YEAH
HE NEVER FAILS TO DELIVER! This song is a testament to Hozier's brilliance. 'Nobody's Soldier' is both empowering and soothing. ❤🩹🤌
Hozier really has been blessing us with his presence recently, when the world needs him most… there he is
I just love this❤
Thank you for blessing us yet again 🙏💞
He and his songs NEVERRRRRRRR disappoint 🙏🙏
I feel unhealthily obsessed with this song. Pretty sure I’ve listened to it like 20 times in a row.
The sounds tickle my brain in all the right ways
hysterically giggling , , he’s never once dropped a bad song
hozier really knows how to write music that touches the soul and incredibly catchy
Just saw Hozier in Kansas. A friend told me he is an artist that sounds better live. It is not like I doubted her, however now after living it I understand. He played this song in his set❤love all the new music!
Yes!!
Born too late to explore the world,
born too early to explore the universe,
born just in time to enjoy Hozier's creative explosion 💕
Thank you Hozier for finally releasing this masterpiece. 💯
Every song he writes is a class of it's own!!! 👌👌
Bro is dishing out bangers
Thank you Hozier!!
Once again, HOZIER has written a true masterpiece that will make the world a better place
this song really makes me hype. i cant help but to start swinging to it. tapping, dancing, singing it. ugh love music that makes you feel.
2:54 I'm using this as a replay button
Just randomly dropping this midnight thurday… love it
ITS GIVING MAD MAX!!!!!! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simply, Great Artistry and great great vocals
What a song. One of those than you continually want to replay
This song hits different.. it's like he's telling us that he can't keep up with the demands of the public and the expectations we've put on him, in correlation to the pressure that big music is also probably putting on him. He's telling us he's tired of fighting between what he wants to do and what he's expected to do.
Edit: I also see the very blatant references to whats going on in the world today, but I also saw this hidden meaning behind the words as well.
wow!!!! i heard this live and thought it couldn't get any better but the studio version just blew me away
this song is something else- i want to scream it so devouringly loud from the top of my lungs. thank you, Andrew, you delivered a masterpiece once again😭
this song fills me with the same anger that you have when you're a tween and realise the world is shit. But like. better.
This man will never make a bad song EVER ❤❤❤❤
This feels like a song that would play in movie credits
This song live was INSANE
I'm happy he finally isn't known anymore as that guy that sings, "Take me to church"
Here Here! I have a playlist that I throw at my lazy friends now because it's like you need to convince someone to listen across albums that way otherwise they'll only listen to 1 or 2 songs.
Saw this performed live last week....love Hozier and his band....chief's kiss!!
This song is my therapy
I fear he again Slayed
HE'S SUCH AN ICON
Already in love with this song. I'm convinced he can't write a bad one.
The scream I scrumped!
My man did it again! ❣
Great song by Hozier

If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna
溺れていると言えば
水の上を歩いていると言うなら
山から火を持ってこれる
少し寒く感じるって言う
私はしたくない
Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders

Sick to my skin
Watching thе news again
Whatever you choosе, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one
病みつきになりそうだ
またニュースを見ている
何を選んでも、長い目で見れば損をする。
壁のペンキが
滝のように流れ落ちる
目指していたゴールは間違っていた
If I say that this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna
これが溺れることだと言えば
水の上を歩いていると言うなら
私は山から火をもたらすことができる
少し寒く感じると言う
私はしたくない
Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders

I don't wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be Nobody's Soldier
セールスマンか兵士か選びたくない
少し年をとって

肉屋か貧民か、どっちを選ぶ?
ハニー、注文は受けないよ
誰の兵士にもなれない
HE DOESN’T MISS
Another stunning masterpiece ❤
