lyrics

Hello it’s Tom and I’m the one who never came back home. And I’m the son of pain and retribution. So far away. Sent away from home. Far from Earth I stray, far from Earth I roam. And I do say I do miss the sunlight. We all know it’s true. I blame it all on you. Guess who it is. It’s Cpl. Tom and I’m the one who held the gun up against my forehead. My name is Cpl. Tom!

I never saw the light that passed before my eyes and the wonders of my last few years of high school. Now as I keep looking back at memories caught in the past I realize I really loved her so. Go! I never really knew her little boyfriend but I knew that he was toast. When I kicked his ass outside the football field he said “Tommy why’d you do it?” I replied, “I need her the most!”

They carried me off the plane in a coffin on the Fourth of July. I looked at all my friends and my family. Oh why? My Dad. My poor dad, bible in hand, looking at the sky. My Mom. My poor mom fell on her knees and began to cry, “He’s home, look he’s home, my boy’s home, he came home. Well, he promised me so long ago, and finally he’s home.”

Look at me mom. I’m home!

I don’t know what I did that for, but I aint a corporal no more. Amen. I’m simply an angel named Tom…
