Well, Edaddy joined the Air Force, said it was a good source
Danger, love, and money, but it only led to divorce
Ended up in Abilene, working at a Dairy Queen
Put me in the Army on the day that I turned seventeen
AHere I am standin' in the desert with a gun
Thought of going AWOL but I'm too 'fraid to run
So I Egot myself a new plan, stealin' from the Taliban
Make a little money turning poppies into heroin
B7Sergeant didn't like it so they put me in a hole
I D7said, "It's easy shootin' when they don't know where to go"
EThrew me on a lily pad, sent me home to NORAD
I knew I'd be in trouble but I didn't think it’d be this bad
EStranger 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”
AGonna take a trip, wouldn't tell me what it's for
Gotta serve your country, gonna help us win the war
EM.I.T. Ph.D.'s, night & day, they're testing me
Ain't what I was thinking but I'm bein' all that I can be
  B7I ain't no genius but I knew it wasn't right
Eating D7uppers in the morning and LSD at night
ESend me off to deep space, help 'em win the arms race
Hola mi, oh mighty, but this shit has got a funny taste
[SOLO]
I Ethink 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
AMama always said I should be aimin' for the moon
Never would've guessed that I'd be passin' by soon
EHow the hell'd I get here? Blastin' through the atmosphere
Drop the rocket boosters and I'm shiftin' into high gear
B7Bowie on the system and a bottle on my knee
D7Armstrong ain't got nothing on me
EHey ho, here we go, KMAG YOYO
Someone wanna get me, gotta come up where the sun don't go
[SOLO]
I Ethink I see a bright light, something 'bout it ain't right
I laid down in a spaceship, woke up in a firefight
Trippin' from the morphine, came down in a bad scene
God, don't let me die here, I ain't even nineteen
  AI won't ever ask you, Lord, for anything again
I'll swear it on the Bible, Torah, Koran
ELyin' in a rhino track 'bout to have a heart attack
I.E.D. got to me, someone call the Medevac
  B7I need some fixin' after where it is I've been
D7Never wanna go and try and shoot a gun again
ESlippin' out the back door, gonna join the Peace Corps
Tell me I'm a hero now so someone else can fight this war
Note: To play the D7, just slide your B7 up three frets.

Well, daddy joined the Air Force, said it was a good source

Danger, love, and money, but it only led to divorce

Ended up in Abilene, working at a Dairy Queen

Put me in the Army on the day that I turned seventeen

Here I am standin' in the desert with a gun

Thought of going AWOL but I'm too 'fraid to run

So I got myself a new plan, stealin' from the Taliban

Make a little money turning poppies into heroin

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

I knew I'd be in trouble but I didn't think it’d be this bad

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

M.I.T. Ph.D.'s, night & day, they're testing me

Ain't what I was thinking but I'm bein' 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

Hola mi, oh mighty, but this shit has got a funny taste

[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

[SOLO]

I think I see a bright light, something 'bout it ain't right
