The things they never told me Yeah the things I never knew The things I always thought But never had the nerve to do The things they didn't tell me Like how good it feels They didn't have to sell me I salute and click my heels)
Well there's something going on here Yeah there's something in the air And all of us belong here we've got uniforms to wear They call it revolution, but I call it good clean fun And I make my contribution and they let me wear a gun
It don't get no better than this Where have they been all my life I've got my jack boots and my fist I've got my matches and my knife
I do the things they never told me Yeah the things I never knew The things I always thought But never had the nerve to do I do the things they didn't tell me Like how good it feels They didn't have to sell me I salute and click my heels
And times were really hard and there was nothing left to eat I went looking for a job, I walked the soles right off my feet I did not see the lies, you know I didn't know who to blame Till he opened up my eyes, you know he called them out by name
Don't get no better than this Where have they been all my life I've got my jack boots and my fist I've got my matches and my knife
I do the thing they never told me
I like the things they never told me The things they never told me I do the things they never told me The things they never told me
The things they never taught me Yeah the things I never knew The things I always thought But never had the nerve to do Things they didn't tell me Like how good it feels To feel an old man's glasses Shatter underneath your heels
