I Always Knew That You Would Take Yourself Far From Home As

Soon As, As Far As You Could Go. By the 1/4 Inch Cut of Your Hair And

the Army Issue Green, For the Past Eight Weeks I Can Tell Where You've

Been. For I Knew, I Could See, It Was All Cut and Dried to Me There

Was Soldier's Blue Blood Streaming Inside Your Veins. There Is a World

Outside of This Room and When You Meet It Promise Me You Won't Meet It

With Your Gun.

So Now You Are One of the Brave Few, It's Awful Sad We Need

Boys Like You. I Hope the Day Never Comes For "Here's Your Live Round

Son. Stock and Barrel, Saftey, Trigger, Here's Your Gun." Well I

Knew, I Could See, It Was All Cut and Dried to Me There Was Soldiers

Blue Blood Streaming Inside Your Veins. There Is a World Outside Of

This Room and When You Meet It Promise Me You Won't Meet It With Your

Gun Taking Aim. For I Don't Mean to Argue, They've Made a Decent Boy

of You and I Don't Mean to Spoil Yourhome Coming, But Baby Brother

You Should Expect Me To.

"Stock and Barrel, Saftey, Trigger, Here's Your Gun." So Now

Does Your Heart Pitter Pat With a Patriotic Sond When You See The

Stripes of Old Glory Waving? Well I Knew, I Could See, It Was All Cut

and Dried to Me There Was Soldier's Blue Blood Streaming Inside Your

Veins. There Is a World Outside of This Room and When You Meet It

Promise Me You Won't Meet It With Your Gun Taking Aim. I Don't Mean

to Argue, They've Made a Decent Boy of You and I Don't Mean to Spoil

Your Homecoming My Baby Brother Jude and I Don't Mean to Hurt You By

Saying This Again, They're So Good At Making Soldiers But They're Not

So Good At Making Men.
