Lyrics

I had a good home but I left I had a good home but I left, right, left That big fucking bomb made me deaf, deaf A Humvee mechanic put his Kevlar on wrong I guarantee you'll meet up with a suicide bomb Hell broke luce Hell broke luce Big fucking ditches in the middle of the road You pay a hundred dollars just for fillin' in the hole Listen to the general every goddamn word How many ways can you polish up a turd And left, right Left, left, right Left, right Hell broke luce Hell broke luce Hell broke luce How is it that the only ones responsible for making this mess Got their sorry asses stapled to a goddamn desk And Hell broke luce Hell broke luce Left, right, left What did you do before the war? I was a chef, I was a chef What was your name? It was Geoff, Geoff I lost my buddy and I wept, wept I come down from the meth So I slept, slept I had a good home but I left, left Pantsed at the wind for a joke I pranced right in with the dope Glanced at her shin she said, ["Nope."] Left, right, left Nimrod Bodfish have you any wool Get me another body bag the body bag's full My face was scorched, scorched I miss my home I miss my porch, porch Left, right, left Can I go home in March? March My stance was a chin full of soap That rancid dinner with the Pope And left, right, left Kelly Presutto got his thumbs blown off Sergio's developing a real bad cough Sergio's developing a real bad cough And Hell broke luce Hell broke luce Hell broke luce Boom went his head away And boom went Valerie What the hell was it that the President said? Give him a beautiful parade instead And left, right, left When I was over here I never got to vote I left my arm in my coat My mom she died and never wrote We sat by the fire and ate a goat Just before he died he had a toke Now I'm home and I'm blind And I'm broke What is next?
