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 [bad word] 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
