Lyrics
[Verse 1] Pre-war matador Now save your broken bones Golden rule, he's such a fool In the streets alone Slow burn, taciturn Nothing left to say Column five, sympathize It's so much easier that way [Chorus] He just wanna be a big boy Pushin' some Jim-Jims around Well, it's hard to be a dreamer In a dream killing town, yeah, yeah Hard to be a dreamer In a dream killing town [Verse 2] Good as dead, that's what Sally said And I fear what she knows Money spent for reconnaissance And blood's upon her clothes Child's toy, soldier boy Playing with his gun Uptown, now missile clown Living out on the run [Chorus] He just wanna be a big boy, yeah Growing up too soon He want to show you his gun, flash his knife in the sun And dance to a rock and roll tune, yeah, yeah Show you his gun, flash his knife in the sun And dance to a rock and roll tune [Bridge] Once tried, twice denied Sally said she knew Full sized, polarized Is what she's looking through Switch blade and a promenade And a leather jacket war Cliché, don't you run away And slip your ass out that back door, yeah [Verse 3] All night parasite Wake me up at noon Copped himself an attitude Down at the Red Dog Saloon Quick laid, masquerade Gets the young boy up tight, yeah, yeah Low rent, Jack-a-Lent Said he'd gonna be all right [Chorus] He just wanna be a big boy, yeah Pushin' some Jim-Jims around Well, it's hard to be a dreamer In a dream killing town, yeah, yeah Hard to be a dreamer In a dream killing town, yes it is
