Hayes Carll Kmag Yoyo
Ah, 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 standing in the desert with a gun
thought of going AWOL but I’m too afraid to run
got myself a new plan, stealing from the Taliban
make a little money turning poppies into heroin
sergeant didn’t like it so they put me in a hole
said it’s easy shooting when they don’t know when 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 I didn’t think it’d be this bad
A stranger wearing 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 fire without a gun
got a new assignment a workin’ for the Pentagon
gonna take a chip wouldn’t tell me what it’s for
gotta serve your country gonna help us win the war
MIT, Ph’ds night and day they tested me
ain’t what I was thinking but I’m being all I can be
I ain’t no genius but I knew it wasn’t right
eatin uppers in the morning LSD at night
sent me off to deep space help ‘em with the arms race
ola, me oh my this shit has got a funny taste
I think I hear the countdown
hundred feet above the ground
told me when I’m leaving but a nothing about a coming down.
sitting on a bad dream
1000 pounds of gasoline.
ain’t leaving nothing but some rubble in my slip stream.
Momma always said I should be aiming for the moon
never would have guessed it I’ll be passing by soon.
how the hell’d I get here blasting thru the atmosphere
drop the rocket boosters and I’m shifting into high gear.
Bowie on the system and a bottle on my knee
Armstrong ain’t got nothing on me.
Ay O here we go
KMAG YOYO someone want a git me
gotta come up where the sun don’t go
I think I see a bright light something about it ain’t right.
lay down in a space ship woke up in a fire fight.
tripping from the morphine
came down in a bad scene
God don’t let me die here. I ain’t even nineteen.
I won’t ever ask you Lord for anything again
swear it on the Bible Torah Koran
dying in a Rhino track
trying to have a heart attack
IED got to me
someone call the medivac
I need some fixin after where it is I’ve been
never gonna go and try to shoot a gun again.
slipping out the back door
gonna join the Peace Corp.
tell me I’m a hero now
someone else can fight this war.
