Well, daddy joined the Air Force
Said, it was a good source
Danger, love, and money, but it
only led to divorce
Ended up in Abilene
Working at a Dairy Queen
Put me in the Army on the
day that I turned seventeen
Here I am standin' in the
desert with a gun
Thought of going AWOL but I'm
too afraid to run
So I got myself a new plan
Stealin' from the Taliban
Make a little money turning
poppies into heroin
Sergeant didn't like it so they
put me in a hole
I said, "It's easy shootin' when they
don't know where to go."
Threw me on a lily pad
Sent me home to NORAD.
I knew I'd be in trouble but I
didn't think it be this bad.
Stranger wearin' all black
Met me on the tarmac
Told him I was sorry but
I ain't ever going back
He said, you ain't in trouble son
Learn to fight without a gun
Got a new a**ignment now, you're
working for the Pentagon
Gonna take a trip, wouldn't
tell me what it's for
Gotta serve your country, gonna
help us win the war
MIT, Ph.D.'s,
night and day, they're testing me
Ain't what I was thinking but I'm
being all that I can be
I ain't no genius but I
knew it wasn't right
Eating uppers in the morning
and LSD at night
Send me off to deep s***e
Help 'em win the arms race
Ola me, oh mighty, but this
s*** has got a funny taste.
I think I hear the countdown
Hundred feet above the ground
Told me when I'm leavin' but
a'nothing 'bout a'coming down
Sittin' on a bad dream
Thousand pounds of gasoline
Ain't leavin' nothing but some
rubble and my slipstream
Mama always said, I should be
aimin' for the moon
Never would've guessed that I'd be
passin' by soon
How the hell'd I get here?
Blastin' through the atmosphere
Drop the rocket boosters and I'm
shiftin' into high gear.
Bowie on the system and a
bottle on my knee
Armstrong ain't got nothing on me
Hey ho, here we go
KMAG YOYO
Someone wanna get me, gotta
come up where the sun don't go.
I think I see a bright light
Something 'bout it ain't right
I laid down in a s***e ship
Woke up in a fire-fight
Trippin' from the morphine
Came down in a bad scene
God, don't let me die here,
I ain't even 19
I won't ever ask you, Lord for
anything again
I'll swear it on the Bible,
Torah or Koran
Lyin' in a rhino track
'Bout to have a heart attack
IED got to me,
someone call the Medevac
I need some fixin' after
where it is I've been
Never wanna go and try and
shoot a gun again
Slippin' out the back door
Gonna join the Peace Corps
Tell me, I'm a hero now, so
Someone else can fight this war.
