		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, saftey, 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 yourhome coming, but baby brother
	you should expect me to.
		"Stock and barrel, saftey, trigger, here's your gun." So now
	does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic sond 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.
