Who I Could Be
I meant to do something else
Instead of turning my life to
Destroying myself by my teenage moods
I left the Air Cadets in late summer 88
I went crazy in my own head
Something went pop and I cracked
And never recovered not 3 decades on
I should've been an Air Force brat
Today I saw the local cops muster
Their Captain paraded them
Any issues would be raised
For we are in a national lock down here
This damn fecking virus ruining the world
I remember ruining my teen years
By leaving the cadets and not joining up
My dad said I refused to go
He was right in that regards
Why did my head go bang in 88?
Things only got worse after that
Two very bad years but I recovered
I am who I am now but
Not who I could've been
An Air Force brat...
