作词：Natalie Merchant

作曲：Natalie Merchant

I always knew that you would take yourself far from home

as soon as as far as you could go

By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the Army issue green

for the past eight weeks I can tell where you've been

For I knew I could see it was all cut and dried to me

there was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins

There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me

you won't meet it with your gun

So now you are one of the brave few it's awful sad we need boys like you

I hope the day never comes for

Here's your live round son Stock and barrel safety trigger here's your gun

Well I knew I could see it was all cut and dried to me

there was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins

There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me

you won't meet it with your gun taking aim

For I don't mean to argue they've made a decent boy of you

and I don't mean to spoil your home coming

but baby brother you should expect me to

Stock and barrel safety trigger here's your gun

So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song

when you see the stripes of Old Glory waving

Well I knew I could see it was all cut and dried to me

there was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins

There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me

you won't meet it with your gun taking aim

I don't mean to argue they've made a decent boy of you

and I don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother Jude

and I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again

they're so good at making soldiers but they're not so good at making men
