Suicide Seven - Soldier's Skin Lyrics

Mr. Kauffmen can you help me find
A way to honor your dead name
Cause I was in New Orleans just last night
And man I tell you it just wasn't the same
I got a job related too almost nothing I do
And it stayed that way for about a year
I took my woman to the edge of everything I fear
And don't you know she spit it back in my face

But I built this to be brave
10 times my spine
I built it cunning
Cunning unafraid
Radiant divine
I built it in a likeness of a clever friend in mind
I built it so cold-hearted
You wouldn't know
I built it to be evil when evil was the key
I built it good good good
When good need be
And oh how I cried
When my soldiers skin died
Mr. Kauffmen can't you hear me cry

So I spent some time in Cranston
Swallowing my pride
Spent some time with my face to the door
I led the life of grandsons and unemployment lines
Still I'm not sure what this world has in store for me
I will meet you on the Florida Alabama line
Where the ocean meets the white sand
We could die happier knowing things aren't right
We could die happier saying

But I built this to be brave
10 times my spine
I built it cunning
Cunning unafraid
Radiant divine
I built it in a likeness of a clever friend in mind
I built it so cold-hearted
You wouldn't know
I built it to be evil when evil was the key
I built it good good good
When good need be
And oh how I cried
When my soldiers skin died
Mr. Kauffmen can't you hear me cry
