And now you're a soldier of fortune and fame
They say you’re a knight with no number no name
And now that you've come to the end of the road
Step back, step into the fold

And what if you call this a home of the brave
They say that you've got to have sinned to be saved
Past days of Sunday school enter your mind
Lost in your nursery crimes

The nursery angels set the world on fire
A rocketeer couldn’t get much higher
Mom's little angels with their deadly toys
In battlefield games with the boys

Armed to teeth and "Arnoldized"
Now, shut your ears and close your eyes
The guardian angels turned his face away
This child's gone astray
Yes this one's gone astray

Left at the chessboard, childhoods end
King of the playground, your move again
Wooden horses and heart of steel
But this time it's for real
This time it's for real
