Soldier Boy

Good solid build

This ripe young kid has sharpened up for killing men

Polished new shoes and uniform

Not a bad sort, just came here on a whim

And now our soldier boy is missing home

And now our little boy is dead as a stone

Big toothy grin, peach fuzz on cheeks

Snow-white combed hair, lanky physique

Mobile, but awkwardly made-up

Like some old wannabe debutante

And now our soldier boy is leaving his own

And this old rag-tag neighborhood is folded up and gone
