Airplane Parts

A small box airplane parts

Dial counts to ten

Makes this old guitar work again

Listen to the radio whine

You’ll hear I’m right

That words spell destruction for military might

Military might be a very loaded word

But it won’t get you far

No, it won’t get you far

Studies show inertia grows with simple things

Like airplane parts and old guitars

With six steel strings

It takes a village, it takes ten

And a whole generation

To work it out again

Watch the rain fall

You’ll see I’m right

That words spell surrender for military might

Military might make a wary neighborhood

But that won’t get you far

No, that won’t get you far

Studies suggest that works best is simple things

Like airplane parts and candy hearts

And Mario Karts and fits and starts

And distant stars and old guitars

With six steel strings
