the beverly crushers - the academy lyrics
when we were young men, we dreamed of the day
a tap on the shoulder would change us
each got the call, and then each went away
the road had been paved long before us
the lives of our fathers we weren’t meant to live
a thirst for adventure and glory
we wanted much more than our mothers could give
and looked to the stars for our story
the academy’s done right by me
turned me into the man i am
the academy she called to me
promised the world in the palm of my hand
we suffered the training believed every word
took up our posts on the frontline
then came the battles, the long knives of war
the blood that was split by these brothers of mine
the academy’s done right by me
molded me into a fine man
the academy would fight for me
promising worlds in the palm of my hand
now i’ve a boy but he’ll soon slip away
a shining career calls him forward
how could i tell him? what would i say?
his eyes have the gleam of a soldier
the academy’s done right by me
molded me into a fine man
the academy’s the heart of me
promised the world in the palm of my hand
the academy’s done right by me
they bent me and broke me and carried me home
the academy’s what’s left of me
gave me the world and then left me alone
