Slip back out of whack 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 got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything but 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
And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
And I want what's better for you
So long, my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you

Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best
Are you okay?
I've been all around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years

I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me, too?
And they sacrificed their lives
And they lied about those odds
They've said it a million times
But they'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
Knocking down your door
Get up in the morning, yelling "no more!"
So long, my friend and adversary
I'll wait for you
