Boot Camp Lyrics

[Verse]
I must obey the rules
I must be tame and cool
No staring at the clouds
I must stay on the ground

In clusters of the mice
The smoke is in our eyes
Like babies on display
Like angels in a cage
I must be pure and true
I must contain my views

There must be something else
There must be something good far away
Far away from here

[Outro]
Far away, far away from here
Far away, far away from here
Far away, far away from here
And I'll be here for good
For good

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Apparently, this is a song about muting your dreams, your personal views and opinions, your own initiative—in the end, to deny your willing to be yourself for the sake of being part of the system, of the mass, another brick on the wall.
