Clean Cut Kid

Well, I'm asking me why couldn't he adjust
Adjust to what, a dream that bust?

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

They said what's up is down, they said what isn't is
They put ideas in his head he thought were his

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

He was on a baseball team, he was in a marching band
When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand

He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout
For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

The last time, he had a smile on his face
He wanted to go someplace

They said Congratulations, we got what it takes
They sent him back into the rat race without any brakes

He bought the American dream, a mortgage and debt
The only game he could play was Russian roulette

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

He was wearing boxing gloves, he took a dive one day
Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That's what they did
