When Roy got back from the war
Well, not the real war
But what he liked us to refer to as his time away at war
Well we couldn’t very well admit
That we’d forgotten all about it
We said right now, we’ll enlist
We pulled the streamers down and we started to scream
They pulled the screamers down and drowned us in a stream
Our ghosts came back like a catastrophic cream
At least we did it in style
At least we knew what it was for a little while
You could trust that what you put in would come out
The other side of the gun
If I could do it again
There’s some things I would change on the other end
I for one would have pointed it
Away from my myself
Like it’s usually done
As far as those things go it would probably be number one
When Roy came back from what, sure,
While not a real war
Was what I think we would d agree was still ril unpleasant chore
Crowds of kids spittin from the curb
On the lip of every suburb
The same white dragon sits
We strung the streamers up / and someone started to scream
We watched the swimmers sink, sitting by the stream
Our gloves were gone with clapping at the seams
At least we did it in style
At least we knew what it was for a little while
You could trust that what you put in would come out
The other side of the gun
If I could do it again
There a few things I would change on the other end
I for one would have pointed it
Away from my myself
And my loved ones
But I’m not the one with my fingers in the shape of a gun
