The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier lyrics

I'm pulling down questions from my shelf

I'm asking forgiveness

I ain't asking nobody but myself

and I want you to know this

and I want you to know this

You're rifling through a box of toys

that were handed down to me

just take out the ones you want and then

give the rest to my family

I'm gonna go back to school today

but I'm dropping myself off

I'm throwing the childhood scene away

I'm through ripping myself off

I'm done ripping myself off

I'm child and man and child again

the toy Broken Boy Soldier

I'm child and man then 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!
