Lyrics

Oh, go Johnny kick me in the head Aimin' for the floorboards but they pick me up instead Through the ringing from the night before Said the engine's running, gotta pay a call Johnny drove the half-track 'cause we could not find The jeep with me in the morning gotta get some sleep Driving all night out of fear Got it in the ribs every time it changed gear I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team Gonna go where we've never been I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team (Pickin' up, pickin' up the team) Now you know how it's hard to keep the fighting clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Oh, go Johnny gonna fight the war Shotgun in the morning at the local liquor store Oh, go talking 'bout them diesel fuels Johnny tell the chaplain go and polish his tombs Lying on the waste-ground with a blanket on his face Indicating that he's left the human race Hell went open when the world came in Gotta keep your head if you wanna win I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team Gonna go where we've never been I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team (Pickin' up, pickin' up the team) God, you know it's hard to keep the fighting clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Clean, clean Lost a million in the very first attack Clean, clean Don't you worry 'cause you know we'll get them back Clean, clean Lost a million in the very first attack Clean, clean
