Well, daddy joined the air force

Said it was a good source

Danger, love and money

But it only lead to divorce

Send it up in abilene

Workin' at a dairy queen

Put me in the army

On the day that I turned 17

Here I am standing

In the desert with a gun

Thought of goin' awol

But I'm too afraid to run

So I got myself a new plan

Stealing from the taliban

Make a little money

Turnin' poppies into heroine

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

Knew I'd be in trouble

But I didn't think it'd be this bad

A stranger wearing all black

Met me on the tarmac

Told him I was sorry

But I ain't never going back

He said you ain't in trouble, son

Learned to fire without a gun

Got a new assignment

Now you working for the pentagon

Gonna take a trip

Wouldn't tell me what it's for

Gotta to serve your country

Gonna help us win the war

Mit, phd's

Night and day, they 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 them win the arms race

Ola me, oh, mighty

But this shit has got a funny taste

I think I hear the countdown

Hundred feet above the ground

Told me when I'm leaving

But nothing 'bout coming down

Sitting on a bad dream

Thousand pounds of gasoline

Ain't leaving nothing

But some rubble in my slipstream

Mama always said

I should be aiming for the moon

Never would have guessed

That I'd be passing by soon

How the hell did I get here?

Blasting through the atmosphere

Drop my rocket boosters

And I'm shifting into high gear

Bowie on my system

And a bottle on my knee

Armstrong ain't got nothing on me

Hey yo, here we go

Kmag yoyo

Someone wanna get me

Got to come up where the sun don't go

I think I see a bright light

Something 'bout it ain't right

Laid down in a spaceship

Woke up in a fire fight

Tripping 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

Swear it on the bible,

Torah, koran

Lying in a rhino track

'Bout to have a heart attack

Ied got to me

Someone call a medi-vac

I need some fixin'

Now how long has it been

Never wanna go and try

And shoot a gun again

Slippin' out the back door

Wanna join the peace corps

Tell me I'm a hero

Now someone else can fight this war
