Well, I'm asking me why couldn't he adjust
Adjust to what, a dream that bust?
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
They said what's up is down, they said what isn't is
They put ideas in his head he thought were his
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
He was on a baseball team, he was in a marching band
When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand
He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout
For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
The last time, he had a smile on his face
He wanted to go someplace
They said Congratulations, we got what it takes
They sent him back into the rat race without any brakes
He bought the American dream, a mortgage and debt
The only game he could play was Russian roulette
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
He was wearing boxing gloves, he took a dive one day
Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
