WATCHING THE WAR ON TV

well, I watch the war on TV
every night before I sleep
with my gun beneath my pillow
and no soul left for the Lord to keep
hey now history's an etch-a-sketch
facts and figures are dominoes
I'll carve my statue of the truth
I'll take a few of you with me when I go

(chorus)
I'm a killing machine
I'm a United States Marine
I'm hot oil and gasoline


I ain't crazy but Jesus fucks me
and my body begins to shine
he appears in my room every night
and gives it to me from behind
if you don't believe here's a soiled condom
it's still blazing with his radiance
he treats me like a whore leaves me covered in blood and shit
but I'll take it where I get it

(chorus)


you discharged me you called me a fruit
you're the ones who dressed me up so cute
but Jesus told me you ain't bulletproof


I watch the war on TV
they've even got a sexy theme song
they've got clever eye candy graphics
and Bobby ain't coming home
he took RPGs west of Baghdad
hey he was just doing his job
I'm sick he had to shed his skin
for such a greedy corporate mob

(chorus)


you discharged me you called me a fruit
you're the ones who taught me how to shoot
but Jesus told me you ain't bulletproof


I watch the war on TV
hallelujah it's a grim little sitcom
we're bombing the shit out of them sand niggers
and Bobby ain't coming home

Bobby ain't coming home
Bobby ain't coming home
Bobby ain't coming home
Bobby ain't coming home
