sign em' up and shave their heads
and ship them off to die
ship them off to die

before their time is of the essence
when you're barely eighteen
you're too preoccupied

too young to question why
does the truth of war
take some decades to be revealed

meet your cult classic stereotype
you're that skeleton
you are that liaison tonight

i'm alright... if you're alright
i pledge no allegiance for this fact
i am proud

and it's my job to keep thinking out loud
you're the bridge we burned
before we looked across

i drove all night
just to see you again
my old friend

that's why i'm singing this song
inclement weather and my %#@!ty car
no road too far

it's always my favorite destination
stagnation
yeah i thought i found the cure

but now i'm not so sure
