"Broken Boy Soldier" lyrics - THE RACONTEURS

I'm pulling down questions from the shelf
I'm asking forgiveness
I ain't asking nobody but myself
And now 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 seat away
I'm through ripping myself off
I'm done ripping myself off

I'm child then man and child again
The toy broken boy soldier
I'm child then 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
