Don't often open up this floor

Since i handed in my gun

What all these keys are for

Now my tour of duty's done

You got to know the switches

Now you got your turn

Watch and learn, junior

Watch and learn

Now you will get your

Trouble spots

Here's one from

Down voodoo way

Bragged he had me

By the you-know-whats

Very funny, you don't say

The big enchilada

Stealing elections

Had to go down there

Trash collection

Got his cojones

On my desk in there

Made into a souvenir

Set of cufflinks, nice pair

The rest of him's

Someplace up here

Sometimes you got to

Put a shoulder to the door

Not so fast, junior

Listen to your pa

Here, son

I'm handing over to you

Don't crash the ambulance

Whatever you do

What we have here's

A dung hole place

Thought it was fly shit

On the map

Fat bastard, ugly face

And the personal crap

You can't move the barriers

You can't mess with oil and gas

Had to go down there

Stick a couple

Aircraft carriers

In his ass

Fancy dress

Medals chest

It's all in here

For all the gigs

Gas mask

Bullet-proof vest

All the usual rigs

There'll be things they missed

They didn't mention

You've even

Got a whistle in there

For attracting attention

Well, i think you're gonna

Be okay, son

You've had the tour, i guess

These two buttons

By the way

This one i hope

You never press

Some holy fool, just watch

Who's not like you or me

That one's the whole

Shooting match

Right there

It's the whole shitaree

We don't forget

Who put us here, jack

That's page one

We talk soft

But carry a big stick

And pack the biggest gun

We don't like accidents

Major or minor

You don't want yourself

An incident

Don't ever invade china

Here, son

I'm handing over to you

Don't crash the ambulance

Here, son

I'm handing over to you

Don't crash the ambulance

Whatever you do
