Richard Thompson. Dad’s Gonna Kill Me

“Dad” is slang for Baghdad.
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 insteadYou hit the booby trap and you’re in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases
Old Ali Baba, he’s a different speciesI’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 timeI’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 hereDad’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 hereDad’s Gonna Kill Me
Dad’s Gonna Kill Me
