"I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier, Mama" (also known as I Don't Want to Be a Soldier Mama and I Don't Want To Be A Soldier, Mama, I Don't Wanna Die) is a song written and performed by John Lennon, and released in 1971 as the fifth track on his second studio album, Imagine. The song's lyrics oppose the expectations of society.
'I Don't Want To Be A Soldier' was a six-minute rant against the expectations of society. Containing just 25 different words, the song harked back to the simplicity of Lennon's 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' , although 'I Don't Want To Be A Soldier' was far less effective in its emotional resonance.
