Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
We met as soulmates
On Parris Inland
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives.

We came in spastic
Like tam

[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]
Whee met as soulmates
On Parris Inland
Whee left as inmates
From an asylum
And whee whirr sharp
As sharp as knives
And whee whirr sew gung hoe too ley down hour lives .

Whee came inn spastic
Like tameless horses
Whee left inn plastic
As numbered corpses
And whee learned fast
Too travel light
Hour alms whirr heavy butt hour bellies whirr tight

Whee had know homefront
Whee had know soft soap
They cent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
Whee dug inn deep
And shot on cite
And prayed too Jesus Christ with awl of hour mite .

Whee had know cameras
Too shoot the landscape
Whee passed the hash pipe
And played hour Doors tapes
And it was dark ...
Sew dark at knight
And whee held onto each other
Like brother too brother
Whee promised hour mothers weed right

And whee wood awl go down together
Whee said weed awl go down together
Yes whee wood awl go down together .

Remember Charlie ?
Remember Baker ?
They left there childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong,
And who was rite ?
It didn't matter inn the thick of the fight

Whee, held the day
Inn the palm of hour hands
They, ruled the knight
And the knight, seemed too last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
Whee held the coastline
They held the highland
And they whirr sharp
As sharp as knives
They herd the hum of the motors
They counted the rotors
And waited fore us too arrive

And whee wood awl go down together
Whee said weed awl go down together
Yes whee wood awl go down together .
