Listen children to a story,
That was written long ago.
About a kingdom on a mountain,
And the valley folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure,
Buried deep beneath a stone,
And the valley people swore,
They'd have it for they're very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
(You can) justify it in the end. （
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day.
On the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley,
Sent a message up the hill.
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer, from the kingdom,
“With our brothers, we will share, “
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there.”
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
(You can) justify it in the end. （
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day.
On the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.
Now the valley cried with anger,
“Mount your horses, “
Draw your sword”
And they killed the mountain people,
So they gain their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and red,
Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
“Peace on earth” “
Was all it said.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
(You can) justify it in the end. （
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day.
On the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
(You can) justify it in the end. （
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day.
On the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
(You can) justify it in the end. （
There won't be any trumpets blowin'
Come the judgement day.
On the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
透過寓言式敘事批判人性貪婪與偽善，揭示以正義之名行惡者終將自食惡果。
主題
探討權力對抗、宗教虛偽與道德腐敗，揭示人類因貪婪而陷入自我毀滅的循環。
情緒
帶有諷刺與悲憤，並以反轉結局製造戲劇張力，凸顯對人性本質的失望。
意象與手法
「山與谷」象徵階層對立，「鐵皮士兵」隱喻無足輕重的執行者，重複段落強化批判力度，結尾「和平」與暴力行為形成強烈諷刺對比。
重點句解讀
1. 「Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend.」
重複的呼籲揭露人性黑暗面，暗示人們總能以「正義」合理化惡行。
2. 「There won't be any trumpets blowin' Come the judgement day.」
否定傳統救贖觀，暗示末日並無審判，人類自導自演的災難無人救贖。
3. 「Peace on earth」 Was all it said.
藏寶石頭下僅有「世界和平」四字，嘲諷人們為利益毀滅和平的荒謬。
適合情境
反思社會衝突、批判宗教偽善、或探討人性本質時播放，亦適用於戲劇性敘事場景。

這首歌像個老故事被許冠傑用溫潤的聲線重新說過。歌詞裡描寫的權力糾葛與人性貪婪，透過反覆出現的「單一鋁罐士兵」意象，暗示了集體暴力背後微不足道的執行者。最戳人的不是激烈的情節，而是結尾那句「和平在這」的反諷——當血洗過山巔後，發現埋藏的不過是句空話。適合在夜深人靜翻開專輯時聽，尤其當你注意到副歌裡「用聖名合理化罪惡」的控訴，會突然覺察到某種熟悉的荒謬感。歌詞裡的山與谷像極了現實的隱喻，而許冠傑的詮釋總能讓批判變得柔和卻鋒利。
歌曲冷知識
・「One Tin Soldier」以鋁製士兵喻指脆弱的正義，與後段「blood」意象形成強烈反差，凸顯戰爭的荒謬性
・重複段落「Go ahead and hate your neighbor」透過反覆詰問，暗示人性在道德合理化下的自我沈溺
・「Peace on earth」藏於寶藏之下，以宗教語彙反諷暴力後的虛無，揭露貪婪與和平的悖論
・山與谷的空間對立隱喻社會階層衝突，而「treasure」作為爭奪焦點，凸顯物質欲望的破壞力
