Everybody wants to know why he couldn't adjustAdjust to what, a dream that bust?He was a clean-cut kidBut they made a killer out of him,That's what they didThey said what's up is down, they said what isn't isThey put ideas in his head he thought were hisHe was a clean-cut kidBut they made a killer out of him,That's what they didHe was on the baseball team, he was in the marching bandWhen he was ten years old he had a watermelon standHe was a clean-cut kidBut they made a killer out of him,That's what they didHe went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy ScoutFor his friends he would turn his pockets inside outHe was a clean-cut kidBut they made a killer out of him,That's what they didThey said, "Listen boy, you're just a pup"They sent him to a napalm health spa to shape upThey gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills,A jeep to drive, blood to spillThey said "Congratulations, you got what it takes"They sent him back into the rat race without any brakesHe was a clean-cut kidBut they made a killer out of him,That's what they didHe bought the American dream but it put him in debtThe only game he could play was Russian rouletteHe drank Coca-Cola, he was eating Wonder Bread,Ate Burger Kings, he was well fedHe went to Hollywood to see Peter O'TooleHe stole a Rolls Royce and drove it in a swimming poolThey took a clean-cut kidAnd they made a killer out of him,That's what they didHe could've sold insurance, owned a restaurant or barCould've been an accountant or a tennis starHe was wearing boxing gloves, took a dive one dayOff the Golden Gate Bridge into China BayHis mama walks the floor, his daddy weeps and moansThey gotta sleep together in a home they don't ownThey took a clean-cut kidAnd they made a killer out of him,That's what they didWell, everybody's asking why he couldn't adjustAll he ever wanted was somebody to trustThey took his head and turned it inside outHe never did know what it was all aboutHe had a steady job, he joined the choirHe never did plan to walk the high wireThey took a clean-cut kidAnd they made a killer out of him,That's what they did
