[Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 2] They said whats up is down, they said what isnt is They put ideas in his head he thought were his [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 3] He was on the baseball team, he was in the marching band When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 4] He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 5] They said, Listen boy, youre just a pup They sent him to a napalm health spa to shape up They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills A jeep to drive, blood to spill They said Congratulations, you got what it takes They sent him back into the rat race without any brakes [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 6] He bought the American dream but it put him in debt The only game he could play was Russian roulette He drank CocaCola, he was eating Wonder Bread Ate Burger Kings, he was well fed He went to Hollywood to see Peter OToole He stole a RollsRoyce and drove it in a swimming pool [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 7] He couldve sold insurance, owned a restaurant or bar Couldve been an accountant or a tennis star He was wearing boxing gloves, took a dive one day Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay His mama walks the floor, his daddy weeps and moans They got to sleep together in a home they dont own [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did [Verse 8] Well, everybodys asking why he couldnt adjust All he ever wanted was somebody to trust They took his head and turned it inside out He never did know what it was all about He had a steady job, he joined the choir He never did plan to walk the high wire [Chorus] He was a cleancut kid But they made a killer out of him Thats what they did
