James McMurtry - Cheney's Toy lyrics

Another unknown soldier
 Another lesson learned
 Kick the gas can over
 Strike a match get back and watch that s**er burn 

Keep smiling for the camera 
Keep waving to the crowd
 Don't let up for an instant
 Stay the course and make your mama proud

 (CHORUS 1) You're the man
 Show'em what you're made of 
You're no longer daddy's boy 
You're the man
 That they're all afraid of
 But you're only Cheney's toy 

Another unknown soldier
 Who's seen it all before
 All in the name of Jesus
 Behind the razor wire and shackled to the floor

 Just keep smiling at the cameras
 And keep that twinkle in your eye
 We don't need to know the answers 
Long as we're safe, just hit your marks and say your lines

 (CHORUS 2) You're the man 
Show 'em what you're made of 
You're no longer daddy's boy
 Take a stand 
Give 'em what they paid for 
'Cause you're only Cheney's toy 

They'll take a fork and turn you over 
While the fat lady sings 
One more pin on one more shoulder
 Is all the future brings
 For another unknown soldier
 Who don't know his own name
 And he won't get any older 
And he can't see for the shrapnel in his brain

 (Multi Chorus)
