[Verse 1]
Out in the desert, there's a soldier lying dead
Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
Another day, that could have been me there instead
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

[Verse 2]
You hit the booby trap, and you're in pieces
With every bullet, your risk increases
Old Ali Baba, he's a different species
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm dead meat in my Humvee Frankenstein
I hit the roadblock; somehow, I never hit the mine
The dice rolled, and I got lucky this time
[Chorus]
And Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

[Verse 3]
I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
I might get home if I can live through today
Before I came out here, I never used to pray
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me

[Verse 4]
Dad's in a bad mood, Dad's got the blues
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

[Pre-Chorus]
Dawn patrol went out and didn't come back
Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
Or they'll be shoveling bits of you into a sack
[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

[Verse 5]
And who's that stranger walking in my dreams?
And who's that stranger, cast a shadow 'cross my heart?
Who's that stranger? I dare speak his name
Must be old Death a-walking
Must be old Death a-walking

[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me

[Verse 6]
Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing waiting for the sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the Wild West show
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

[Pre-Chorus]
Another angel got his wings this week
Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete
No one's dying if you speak doublespeak
[Chorus]
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
