Operation Never Mind

We got an operation goin' on

It don't have to trouble me and you

The country boys'll do the fightin'

Now that fightin's all a country boy can do

We got a handle on it this time

No one's gonna tell us we were wrong

We won't let the cameras near the fighting

That way we won't have another Vietnam

No one knows

'Cause no one sees

No one cares 'cause no one knows

No one knows

'Cause no one sees it on TV

She works a checkpoint in the city

Chokin' on the gravel dust and smog

She knows not to stop the black Suburban

Those guys'll run you down just like a dog

The KBR man knows her trailer

He hips her to some recon that he's found

That he'll be comin' by for a late inspection

There'd best not be no soldier boy around

No one knows

'Cause no one sees

No one cares 'cause no one knows

No one knows

'Cause no one sees it on TV

And don't they look just like on "SEAL Team"

Lord, don't they look the best?

When we trot them out at halftime

Or the seventh inning stretch

They stand up in their uniforms

And help us sell the show

Dying by their own hands

For reasons we don't know

We got an operation going on

It don't have to trouble you and me

A KBR man cooks a T-bone

A soldier's chokin' down an MRE

We just go on about our business

Drop the kids off at the mall

Play the Black Ops on the laptop

And don't make too big a fuss about it all

No one knows

'Cause no one sees

No one cares 'cause no one knows

No one knows

'Cause no one sees

No one cares 'cause no one knows

No one knows

'Cause no one sees it on TV

We got an operation goin' on
