We met as soul mates on Parris Island
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 tameless horses
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light
Our packs were heavy, our hearts were light
And we walked in a world of wonder
And we would all go down together
We said we’d all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
