Richard Thompson - Dad's Gonna k** Me lyrics

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 k** Me Dad's Gonna k** Me You hit the b**by 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 k** Me Dad's Gonna k** 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 k** Me Dad's Gonna k** 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 k** 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 k** Me Dad's Gonna k** 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 k** 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 d**h a-walking Must be old d**h a-walking Dad's Gonna k** 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 k** 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 k** Me
