    Story Behind the Song
    Kind of a rough period for me on this one. Sonic had just bought his ASR-10, so we were going of into unexplored territory most all of the time. These lyrics depict the feeling of horror I felt for having sold a chunk of my life to the military. The world is a beautiful place, and I could not have seen it any other way. Moreover, these lyrics represent "inner war," the blood & guts of the soul stirred by the predicaments of being flesh.

    Lyrics
    ...sometimes you - go down hard,
    like a bad flood reaching its
    - killing line,
    breaking every water damn down that
    holds back my - swirling eyes.
    The drugs were good that day, Tracey,
    because everything made me smile like a carnival.

    I was newly wed, proud sailor, just off to
    war
    WAR,

    loving every worrd you whispered,
    gently - down the phone;
    talkin' cheap, cheap, nasty - teenage sex,
    7000 miles away...

    ...from some mid-eastern bar,
    called the Oasis
    O waste us.

    I kept grabbing my crotch,
    praying to god
    that the world would end -
    so i could go hom, and fuck my wife the - Chirstian way.

    I didn't want to do anything wrong.
    Mom, Dad,
    they made me kill -

    and watch lilttle girls, get blown to
    one bits, 2 bits 3 bits, a dollar;
    just so they can hear me scream
    and make me msturbate
    in some sick, little,
    metal box - called a coughin'
    locker.

    You are a joke;
    your are loser;
    can't get a real job;
    you are the navy,

    became the motto I learned to live under -
    under.

    I came a half - hero?
    Is that arrogant?
    These uniforms are
    arrogan - t.

    My wife's on the pier waving,
    weaving,
    wearing - a stupid hat & a big ass.

    O honey, before we make love,
    do you think I'm fat!?

    No baby,
    I havent had it in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 months.
    Ask me again in a week.
    Get out!
    Get in the,
    the groove.

    (got out,
    got divorced,
    got -
    got on the street,
    got nothing,
    got me,
    got my brohter of -ah
    light,
    got me,
    got blown away,
    got me,
    got everything,
    got everybody,
    got me,
    got to be a story about how...

    ...I know you,
    don't give a shit.
    I know you don't give a shit.
    I KNOW you don't give a shit!

    O - but i made you listen to me
    anyway,
    anyway.

    "Got to kick the - habit, boy
    gotta' kick the habit, boy."

    But I don't want to kick the habit!

    "Gotta' kick the habit - boy."

    This is your brain;
    This is your brain left alone,
    alone,

    ALONE!!!
