Sung to Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon"
We met as soul mates
On Grand Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And our skates were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we skated fast
And checked with might
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We had an uprorious home front
We had white out
We were no Playboys
They gave us no Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all of our might
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We had no-goal cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Remember Teppo
Remember Timmy
Remember Campbell's crushing hit
Over and over in Slo-Mo
And who was wrong?
And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We held the day
In the palm of our hand
They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Grand Island
We held the Blue line
They held the jerseys
And our skates were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We met as soul mates
On Grand Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And our skates were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we skated fast
And checked with might
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We had an uprorious home front
We had white out
We were no Playboys
They gave us no Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all of our might
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
