Slicked back, out of work, at your best
It's a nightmare
So I'm joining the army
No house phones but can I still call?
Will you wait for me now?
We've got the right cause they fight to use it
Got ev'rything and you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
I'm tired of all your friends
List'ning at your door
I want what's better for you
So long my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
Get dress, jump out of bed into a vest
Are you O.K?
I've been all around this town
Everybody's been singing the same song for ten years
I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?
And they sacrifice their lives
And they lied about those odds
I'll say it a million times, and I'll say it again
So long my adversary and friend
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
I'm tired of all your friends
Banging down your door
Get up in the morning yelling 'no more'
So long my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
