Lyrics
Back in school I was a real hot stud
Reflecting on being popular in school.
With muscles XXL
Describing a muscular physique.
But the others thought my name was mud
Others had a negative perception of the person.
And made my school days hell
Experienced a challenging time during school.
Only CND or Greenpeace would
Only activists like CND or Greenpeace were respected.
Impress these infidels
Expressing disdain for those who didn't appreciate activism.
So I kept my temper hidden very well
Successfully hiding frustration and anger.
I demonstrated and remonstrated
Engaging in demonstrations and arguments for human rights.
For human rights I took a stand
Took a principled stand for human rights.
Yet I wanted to drive a tank
Expressing a desire to operate a military tank.
A big green army tank
Specifically wanting a big green army tank.
The real thing, no child's prank
Emphasizing the desire for a real tank, not a toy.
Just wanted to drive a tank
Reiterating the genuine desire to drive a tank.
After school I wanted to
Expressing a desire for post-school excitement.
Have fun and kick some ass
Wishing to have fun and be assertive.
But again restraint came over me
Experiencing self-restraint even in recreational settings.
I was cool at recess
Being cool and composed during recess.
I refused to serve, declined in style
Refusing military service with style.
"The army makes me scream
Expressing aversion to the army.
The league of nations is my
Having a dream aligned with the League of Nations.
One and only dream" soon I got a real deal:
Transitioning to a role related to delivering meals.
I brought the meals on wheels
Reflecting on a mundane and unfulfilling job.
But that was dumb and dull and stank
Highlighting the dissatisfaction with the current situation.
I just wanted to drive a tank
Reiterating the desire to drive a tank.
A big green army tank
Specifically wanting a big green army tank.
The real thing, no child’s prank
Emphasizing the desire for a real tank, not a toy.
Now and then when I was on tour
Reflecting on entrepreneurial experiences during tours.
I was quite the entrepreneur
Being resourceful and creative during tours.
I put something in the meat pies
Admitting to tampering with food, causing hospitalization.
And they all were hospitalised
Transitioning to a nursing profession after the incident.
After that I became a nurse
Expressing dissatisfaction with geriatrics nursing.
Geriatrics, that was much worse
Breaking the law by acquiring a power saw.
Which is when I've broken the law
Reflecting on breaking the law and the consequences.
'cause I bought a power saw
Acquiring a power saw for undisclosed reasons.
Sometimes I feel lonely, but for sure
Expressing occasional loneliness but denying being a ladies' man.
I’m not a ladies' man
Dreaming of finding someone who shares the desire to drive a tank.
I dream of someone who will say to me: "I can
Desiring a partner who encourages driving a tank.
Drive a tank!" for once just drive a tank
Reiterating the desire to drive a tank.
Then shit will hit the fan drive a tank
Expecting chaos and excitement when driving a tank.
At last just drive a tank
Expressing anticipation and eagerness to drive a tank.
Then shit will hit the fan
Foreseeing dramatic consequences when driving a tank.
