  • Slip back out of whack at your best
    It's a nightmare
    So I'm joining the army
    No house phones, but can I still call?
    Will you wait for me now?
    We got the right to live, fight to use it
    Got everything but you can just choose it
    I won't just be a puppet on a string

    Don't go that way
    I'll wait for you
    And I'm tired of all your friends
    Listenin' at your door
    But I want what's better for you
    So long, my friend
    And adversary
    Oh, but I'll wait for you

    Get dressed, jump out of bed into a vest
    Are you okay?
    I've been all around this town
    Everybody's singin' the same song for ten years

    I'll wait for you
    Will you wait for me too?
    And they sacrifice their lives
    And they're lyin' about those odds
    And they said it a billion times
    And they'll say it again
    So long, my adversary and friend

    Don't go that way
    I'll wait for you
    Well, I'm tired of all your friends
    Knockin' down your door
    Get up in the morning, yelling no more
    So long, my friend
    And adversary
    Oh, I'll be waitin' for you Writer/s: Albert Jr. Hammond, Fabrizio Morretti, Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi
