lyrics

It was a lad thing
A game that only boys could play
Sometimes it was frightening
But it kept the teenage blues away
Muscles flexed in the moonlight
Rival forces gearing up for a clash
Missile fans thought it alright
If the earth went up in atomic flash
With their minds so filled with void
I always like swimming with boys

Swimming with boys

War games on the playset
Led to violence in the streets
We were trapped in the mindset
Of soldier-dolls fighting in the summer heat
Rival forces gearing up for a clash
Missile fans thought it alright
If the earth went up in atomic flash
In their pool so dark and cold
Just like the men who run this world

Swimming with boys

Kindness and nurturing are weakness
Real men go off the deep end
Real men swim in the deep end
Real men go off the deep end

Swimming with boys
