You walk around life a clockwork man
Soldier in command
You tell them what to do and where to go
But you're no action man so you don't know

So get them can't you see?
They're in your territory
If you're good you'll get a degree

Sneaking through the darkest night
You're loaded up to take the fight
Are you expecting what you're gonna find?
Soldier boy, what's on your mind?
So get them can't you see?
They're in your territory
If you're good you'll get a degree

What is this life you're living?
Are you living your last everyday?
If you survive will you still be the same man
You were yesterday?

So get them can't you see?
They're in your territory
If you're good you'll get a degree

Blank face is staring straight ahead
Who's alive and who is dead?
This is it, can't you see?
Now you question your ability

So get them can't you see?
They're in your territory
If you're good you'll get a degree

What is this life you're living?
Are you living your last everyday?
If you survive will you still be the same man
You were yesterday?
