Seventeen - Eyes Of The Lord

I was seventeen in 1983

Dropped out of school

And joined the infantry

In jungles and bars

I learned to be a man

1980's Panama was a wild lawless land

Fucked a lot of hookers

I drank to crush the fear

Riots, combat zones…

How I spent my senior year

Had a lot of late nights of excess and sin

Lot of bloody fist fights

Felt like home, I fit in

Violence seemed pervasive

It always fucking worked

When it starts to go bad

You might as well be first

Fucked a lot of hookers

I drank to crush the fear

Riots, combat zones…

How I spent my senior year

In the end all I have are dusty memories

Almost like a dream filled with insanity

Violence seemed pervasive

It always fucking worked

When it starts to go bad

You might as well be first
