Perfect Little Soldier

Well I can't be angry
Shit I can't be glad
They turned you away
From the times we had
I told you someday it would come around
But every time you always shot it down
Because
Now I know that you're older
Life's weighing down on your shoulders
And now I know that it's true
They made the perfect little soldier out of you

The nights we stayed up
The days we drowned
The times I'd drive you all around the town
From picking ups
To feeling down
All of which you've never heard a sound
I guess you've heard me
You've heard me wrong
Taking things from where they belong
You say they've taught you right
No, they've taught you wrong
Reverse psychology they've finally won
Because
Now I know that you're older
Life's weighing down on your shoulders
And now I know that it's true
They made the perfect little soldier out of you

Da na na na na na na
The letters you've sent me
I have them all
I was drafting out some that I'd send this fall
There's no ill will
And I hope you well
I hope that someday you can leave this hell
It seems you've swapped out
Your lead role for a walk on part in the deadly war
I see you've exchanged
All the old for a new and better than what was before
Because
Now I know that you're older
Life's weighing down on your shoulders
And now I know that it's true
They made the perfect little soldier out of you

Now I know that it's true
They made the perfect little soldier out of you
