Drone Pilot Blues

lyrics

DRONE PILOT BLUES
He walks in silence down the street
No one suspects a thing
On any given day
He could kill a king
He’s got his own parking spot
Close to where he shops
He’s good at video games
For his job that means a lot (He makes things go)
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
He’s the harbinger of doom
He’s got the Drone Pilot Blues
Could use a pat on the back
When he’s out the the boys
He wants to spill his guts
Secrecy is driving him nuts
Is what he does just ?
With no judge no jury ?
As the executioner
He starting to worry
(When he makes things go) CHORUS
Picks up the kids from school
But can’t look them in the face
All day long Daddy was
Shooting missiles all over the place
He rarely knows who he kills
He rather not know the name
When Innocent until proven guilty
Never comes into play
(He makes it all go ) CHORUS
Now he’s losing his faith
Pulling on his hair
Nothing seems to make sense
He never thought he’d care
He wakes up his wife
In the middle of the night
Stands up in the bed
And screams out his head
(I make things go )CHORUS
