Bobby

Bobby, saturday night the arcade lights all burn so bright

Bobby, quarter in the box, you buy another try to beat the clocks

You try to do what your momma tells you all the time

You try to do what your teacher says but you fall behind

You try to do what your friends want where do you draw the line

Oh, bobby

Bobby, puppet on a string, feelin' like a bird with broken wings

And bobby, your growin' up scared, wired to your own electric chair

Yeah you've got questions no one ever hears

Ten thousand voices filling up your ears

But you know life is more than it appears

Oh, bobby

Bobby, saturday night the arcade lights all burn so bright

Oh bobby, your friends all say just take another hit and fly away

Another video soldier in a foreign land

Watch those electrons march at your command

That pistol grip feels so warm in your hand

Oh, bobby
