Plastic Soldiers Lyrics

[Break]
Can't keep my head
Can't keep my head
I can't keep my head

[Verse 2]
I'd hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in, swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Chorus]
(Tu-ru-tu-tu) Could it be we got lost in the summer?
(Tu-tu-tu) Well, I know you know that it's over

(Na-na-na-na) But you're still there, treading water
(Tu-ru-tu-tu, tu-ru-ru)
(Tu-ru-tu-tu)
(Na-na-na-na) But you're still there (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)


[Bridge]
I can't keep my head up, I can't keep my head up
I can't keep my head up, I can't keep my head up
I can't keep up (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I can't keep my head up, I can't keep my head up
I can't keep my head up, I can't keep my head up
I can't keep up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Beginning Evil Friends, “Plastic Soldiers” is a song sung by anyone who lost a loved one, and had to go through the three stages of Truth:

  1. Refutation;
  2. Violent opposition;
  3. Acceptance.

The song expresses the loneliness and existentialism the narrator is experiencing in the whole album.
