Kmag Yoyo
Lyricist:Joshua Hayes Carll, Scott Davis, John Evans
Well, daddy joined the air force Said it was a good source Danger, love and money But it only lead to divorce
Send it up in Abilene Workin' at a Dairy Queen Put me in the Army On the day that I turned 17
Here I am standing In the desert with a gun Thought of goin' AWOL But I'm too afraid to run
So I got myself a new plan Stealing from the Taliban Make a little money Turnin' poppies into heroine
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 Knew I'd be in trouble But 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 never going back
He said you ain't in trouble, son Learned to fire without a gun Got a new assignment Now you working for the Pentagon
Gonna take a trip Wouldn't tell me what it's for Gotta to serve your country Gonna help us win the war
MIT, PhD's Night and day, they testing me Ain't what I was thinking But I'm being 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 them win the arms race Ola me, oh, mighty But this shit has got a funny taste Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I think I hear the countdown Hundred feet above the ground Told me when I'm leaving But nothing 'bout coming down
Sitting on a bad dream Thousand pounds of gasoline Ain't leaving nothing But some rubble in my slipstream
Mama always said I should be aiming for the moon Never would have guessed That I'd be passing by soon
How the hell did I get here? Blasting through the atmosphere Drop my rocket boosters And I'm shifting into high gear
Bowie on my system And a bottle on my knee Armstrong ain't got nothing on me
Hey yo, here we go Kmag yoyo Someone wanna get me Got to come up where the sun don't go
I think I see a bright light Something 'bout it ain't right Laid down in a spaceship 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 19
I won't ever ask you, Lord For anything again Swear it on the Bible, Torah, Koran
Lying in a rhino track 'Bout to have a heart attack IED got to me Someone call a medi-vac
I need some fixin' Now how long has it been Never wanna go and try And shoot a gun again
Slippin' out the back door Wanna join the Peace Corps Tell me I'm a hero Now someone else can fight this war
