Out On An Island

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got a number tattooed on their soul
And the time's gonna come, boys, when your number's called
Everybody gets a uniform and a hut to live in
They give you your rank, you tell 'em your next of kin
There's no escape for the likes of you, my friend

[Chorus]
But I'm gonna be out on an island
In the middle of the bright blue sea
Out on an island
Where nobody's gonna bother looking for me

[Verse 2]
Everybody gets the training, in the wind and the rain
Ten miles cross country, driving you insane
Everybody gets to jump the hoop and march in time
Yeah, you just gotta remember you gotta toe the line
So don't go looking over your shoulder for me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm gonna be out on an island
In the middle of the bright blue sea
Out on an island
Where nobody's gonna bother looking for me

[Verse 3]
Every number is a hero and every hero's a son
But every son's just a number when the battle's begun
So don't go waiting on the corner for me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm gonna be out on an island
In the middle of the bright blue sea
Out on an island
Where nobody's gonna bother looking for me
Yeah, I'm gonna be out on an island
In the middle of the bright blue sea
Out on an island
Where nobody's gonna bother looking for me

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm gonna be out on an island
Out on an island
Out on an island
Out on an island
Out on an island
Out on an island
