hey little boy where you going
are you digging round where you don't belong
did you bust a door just to prove yourself well you just can't say
did you earn your stripes in a haunted house while your daddy paid
did you cut and run when the poison mud monster came
did you come up lame
hey good old guy what are you doing
among the roaches and the ruins
do you think someone could pick you out well you just can't say
how bout that yuppie Yankee mouth and your sunburned face
well what if sweat and grime won't kill naiveté
what's it gonna take
now hey there dude are you getting strong
digging these ditches all day long
did you get your kicks knocking down a wall well you wouldn't say
did you find yourself trying to figure out why you ever came
did you find your heart in all the danger death and pain
are you just the same
and nice young man do you feel lost
between the haves and the have-nots
will you turn your back on all you got it's hard to say
when you see the misery that it brought a bit too late
no toxic water gonna wash your life away
you look the other way
hey buddy boy you done just fine
sucked in your gut and did your time
tell me what difference did it make well you just can't say are you worried now that you didn't help but you took away
well mom and dad say these things always go that way
don't it ever change
