Eighteen and careless, the way it should be
Well be prepared- you're going down
Stop asking questions, walk this direction (walk this direction)
And wipe away that tear and frown
As soon as tomorrow we'll fade away,
we just can't stay- become a memory
And this life as you know it- it ends today
INFIRMARY!
We've got a man down, better get here straight away
No need for needles, drugs, or any medicine
So when they take you, misplace and dress you
That when you'll know- you're now a man
Men obey orders, men march in straight lines (straight lines)
Follow blueprinted masterplans
As soon as tomorrow we'll fade away,
we just can't stay- become a memory
And this life as you know it- it ends today
Hard to believe
that you and me have parted ways for three long years
And in the end when it's all through,
will you be the same kid I once knew?
We've got a man down, better get here straight away
No need for needles, drugs or any medicine
The only remedy that can do any good
is an arrow showing the way straight out of here
I know that now, once I've gone out
I'm just a madman you can't handle anyway
But this I swear, I'd rather be
a madman than a lowlife, meaningless killing machine.
