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
