Song: KMAG YOYO Tab
E
Well, daddy joined the Air Force, said it was a good source
E
Danger, love, and money, but it only led to divorce
E
Ended up in Abilene working at a Dairy Queen
E
Put me in the Army on the day that I turned seventeen
A
Here I am standin’ in the desert with a gun
A
Thought of going AWOL but I’m too afraid to run
E
So I got myself a new plan Stealin’ from the Taliban
E
Make a little money turning poppies into heroin
B7
Sergeant didn’t like it so they put me in a hole
D
I said, “It’s easy shootin’ when they don’t know where to go.”
E
Threw me on a lily pad Sent me home to NORAD
E
I knew I’d be in trouble but I didn’t think it be this bad
Guitar solo
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 assignment 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 space help ‘em win the arms race
Ola me, oh mighty, but this s**t has got a funny taste
Guitar solo
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
Guitar solo
I think I see a bright light,something ‘bout it ain’t right
I laid down in a space 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
