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.
10,000 Maniacs are an American alternative rock band formed in Jamestown, New York, in 1981. The band's name comes from a phrase in a poetry book by Emily Dickinson. The original lineup included Natalie Merchant (vocals), John Lombardo (guitar), Dennis Drew (keyboards) and Steven Gustafson (drums). Their sound was characterized by catchy melodies, poetic lyrics and complex arrangements that blended folk, alternative rock and pop elements. After a series of independent albums, 10,000 Maniacs achieved mainstream success with the album *In My Tribe* (1987), which included the single *These Are Days*. Their subsequent album, *Blind Man's Zoo* (1989), reached number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. In 1993, Natalie Merchant left the group to pursue a successful solo career. 10,000 Maniacs continued to record and perform with various members, releasing albums such as *Campfire Songs* (1997) and *The Wishing Chair* (2002). Among the band's most representative songs are: *These Are Days*, *What's the Matter Here*, *Candy Everybody Wants*, *Like The Weather*.
