Fighter Pilot

Fighter pilot you’re losing the war again
When will you ever learn
Fighter pilot you’re making a big mistake and setting a bad
example
Fighter pilot tell me about your life and are the children well
Fighter pilot what do you do with yourself at night
When will you ever learn
Fighter pilot it’s a summer of thunderstorms
The sky is black and blue you’re a hero now
But you’re a terrible man fighter pilot
Bandits here bandits there angels at ten o’clock
You’re going down
Fighter pilot you’re never coming in to land
