I'm not one to say, "I know, you tried."
Finding our friends, let's catch a lie
Speak softly, "Away with you." he preached.
Getting older and so weak
She said, "You're in my world now."
Passing corners I've been before
But now you're tired and close you see
Oh my darling, you're nothing without me
And they're walking out together like soldiers
Picking up things that they never told ya
Wondering if I should even bore ya
Keeping things in my hands, you sold her
What these things are you'd never solve it
Just put it in your mind that we're all for it
Like the arms of a good little soldier
They weren't there to even show ya
Try to take a break from all the fun
Cheap cry for call girls, you raised me one
Looking back, was only seventeen
Now things really are what they seem
She said, "Now I know the time."
"Come on boy, there's room for you inside."
Sometimes friends will play the game
Only winners will make the change
And they're walking out together like soldiers
Picking up things that they never told ya
Wondering if I should even bore ya
Keeping things in my hands, you sold her
What these things are you'd never solve it
Just put it in your mind that we're all for it
Like the arms of a good little soldier
They weren't there to even show ya
Get me out, get me out
