A song about fraternity pledges. The film it's based on is about a bunch of male college students who pledge to the fraternity whose abusive hazing does as much damage to their innocence as it solidifies their brotherhood.
lyrics
when you told me to stay
i said i need to go away
to save myself, to stay sane
when you told me to keep my faith
i said i never lost it
i said i never saw it any other way
any other way from what we were told
by our brothers in arms
we were golden
we were the chosen ones
batch '81
when you told me we've gone so far
to give up now
i had nothing else to give
i had to leave
i had to go
