Bobby, saturday night the arcade lights all burn so bright Bobby, quarter in the box, you buy another try to beat the clocks
You try to do what your momma tells you all the time You try to do what your teacher says but you fall behind You try to do what your friends want where do you draw the line Oh, bobby
Bobby, puppet on a string, feelin' like a bird with broken wings And bobby, your growin' up scared, wired to your own electric chair
Yeah you've got questions no one ever hears Ten thousand voices filling up your ears But you know life is more than it appears Oh, bobby
Bobby, saturday night the arcade lights all burn so bright Oh bobby, your friends all say just take another hit and fly away
Another video soldier in a foreign land Watch those electrons march at your command That pistol grip feels so warm in your hand Oh, bobby
