I always knew

that you would take yourself

so far from home

As soon as and as far

as you could go

By the quarter inch cut of your hair

by 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

That you won't meet it with your gun

So now you are one one of the brave few

And 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'

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

That you won't meet it

with your gun taking aim

I don't mean to argue

that they've made a decent boy of you

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

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

That you won't meet it with your gun taking aim

I don't mean to argue

they've made a decent boy of you

I don't mean to spoil your homecoming

my baby brother Jude

to hurt you by saying this again

They're so good at making soldiers

but they're not as good

not as good

at making men

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

They're so good at making soldiers

but they're not as good at making men
