Dad's Gonna Kill Me lyrics

Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead

Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head

Another day that could have been me there instead

Nobody loves me here

Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces

With every bullet your risk increases

Old Ali Baba, he's a different species

Nobody loves me here

Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

I'm dead meat in my HumV Frankenstein

I hit the road block, God knows I never hit the mine

The dice rolled and I got lucky this time

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way

I might get home if I can live through today

Before I came out here I never used to pray

Nobody loves me here

Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's in a bad mood, Dad's got the blues

It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose

At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News

Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dawn Patrol went out and didn't come back

Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac

Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack

Dad's Gonna Kill Me.

And who's that stranger walking in my dreams

And whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart

And who's that stranger, I dare speak his name

Must be old Death a-walking

Must be old Death a-walking

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

7 muzzle monkeys standing in a row

Standing waiting for The Sandbox to blow

Sitting targets in the wild west show

Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Another angel got his wings this week

Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete

Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak

Dad's Gonna Kill Me
