Album:

Shangri-la

Don't often open up this floor
Since I handed in my gun
What all these keys are for
Now my tour of duty's done
You got to know the switches 
Now you got your turn
Watch and learn, junior
Watch and learn


Now you will get your 
Trouble spots
Here's one from 
Down voodoo way
Bragged he had me 
By the you-know-whats
Very funny, you don't say
The big enchilada
Stealing elections
Had to go down there 
Trash collection
Got his cojones 
On my desk in there
Made into a souvenir
Set of cufflinks, nice pair
The rest of him's 
Someplace up here
Sometimes you got to 
Put a shoulder to the door
Not so fast, junior
Listen to your pa
Here, son
I'm handing over to you
Don't crash the ambulance
Whatever you do


What we have here's 
A dung hole place
Thought it was fly shit 
On the map
Fat bastard, ugly face
And the personal crap
You can't move the barriers
You can't mess with oil and gas
Had to go down there
Stick a couple 
Aircraft carriers
In his ass
Fancy dress
Medals chest 
It's all in here 
For all the gigs
Gas mask
Bullet-proof vest
All the usual rigs 
There'll be things they missed
They didn't mention
You've even 
Got a whistle in there 
For attracting attention


Well, I think you're gonna 
Be okay, son
You've had the tour, I guess
These two buttons
By the way 
This one I hope
You never press
Some holy fool, just watch 
Who's not like you or me
That one's the whole 
Shooting match
Right there
It's the whole shitaree
We don't forget 
Who put us here, jack
That's page one
We talk soft 
But carry a big stick 
And pack the biggest gun
We don't like accidents
Major or minor
You don't want yourself 
An incident
Don't ever invade china


Here, son
I'm handing over to you
Don't crash the ambulance
Here, son
I'm handing over to you
Don't crash the ambulance
Whatever you do
