Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Slip back, out of whack, at your best
It's a nightmare
So I'm joining
The army
[Verse 2]
No house phones, but can I still call?
Will you wait for me now?
[Verse 3]
We've got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything, but you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string
[Verse 4]
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
[Verse 5]
And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
But I want what's better for you
[Verse 6]
So long my friend and adversary
Oh, but I'll wait for you
[Verse 7]
Get dressed, jump out of bed into a vest
Are you okay?
I've been all around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years
[Verse 8]
I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?
[Verse 9]
And they sacrifice their lives
And they lied about those odds
And they'll say it a billion times, but they'll say it again
[Verse 10]
So long my adversary and friend
[Verse 11]
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
[Verse 12]
I'm tired of all your friends
Knocking down your door
Get up in the morning, yelling no more
[Verse 13]
So long my friend and adversary
I'll be waiting for you
