lyrics

The same day that Father Christmas was run right out of town, the devil went down to WHINSEC to address colleagues and the graduating crowd. Oh the mood was high, and on their way he drove the family station wagon past protestors chanting at the gate. He laughed right to himself and said, “The hippies have come back after all again!” [It begins.] It didn’t start in Yorktown - the world turned upside down but after a three-course meal in an old foundry on the outskirts of town. “If the libs want ethical battlespace, we’ll let the pindicks in NGOs turn the bloodbath into a blood bank!” he bandied from his minaret, but the irony was lost on the newly-minted regiment. “...and the freaks outside can take a hike if they can’t take the fucking heat!”: slams down his refreshment and sits back in his seat. “Dear, that may have been a bit on the nose.” But the diablo next to her already knows as he slumps down face first into his duck roast. The projector comes alive, it’s an early-evening showing. Plucked from his head, the friar hands him back the bullet. “My penance for pulling a grenade out from a six year old’s gullet (see: the wisdom of your metropole) Know it. own it. It’s your atonement and your solvent.” Our hero comes to later, back at the ranch that night. From under the marriage bed he grabs his piece, careful not to wake the wife. And what would she see opening the closet door? But as the sanguine cliche goes, all’s fair in love and in war. He wept right to himself and cocked; “For the filthy wars that daddy never fought, what he hath wrought…” When 3 AM calls, it’s time to paint the walls with numbers all too proportional. Wake up with a bad head, a sad dead general.
