I used to be immortal when in the elbow you lent me
But now the joints of this machine that you built
Have rusted far beyond mending
I called myself a soldier, bought myself a gun
I was shopping for the perfect revolution
But now my gun is out of bullets, my army over run
And I want to go home
I remember being hungry, and I remember the anger
I remember waking up every day and having something to fight for
Now I've found a decent living with nothing left to need
I do the daily motion, my member asleep
And I stay awake throughout the night trying not to scream
I wanna go home
Now the night is almost over, and I dunno if I'll get through
My sun it never shone from the sky, it always shone from you
Now I've plenty time ahead, I'm only twenty-five
But just because I'm breathin don't mean I'm alive
Mama, can you hear me howling
I wanna go home
