THE RACONTEURS LYRICS - Broken Boy Soldier

"Broken Boy Soldier"



I'm pulling my questions from my shelf

I'm asking forgiveness

I'm asking about it by myself

And I want you to know this

And I want you to know this



You're rifling through a bunch of toys

That were handed down to me

Just take all the ones you want and then

Give the rest to my family



I'm going back to school today

But I'm dropping myself off

I'm throwing the childhood scenes away

I'm through ripping myself off

I'm done ripping myself off



Well I'm child and man and child again

The toy broken boy soldier



I'm child and man and child again

The boy never gets older

The boy never gets older

The boy never gets older

The boy never gets older

The boy never gets older

Never gets older



The boy broken toy soldier

The boy

The boy...
