The lyrics are based on a marching cadence I learned in the Marines and was written back in 2007.
Whoa oh . . .
Momma, momma can't you see?
What the Corps has done to me?
They put me in a barber's chair,
Spun me around, I had no hair.
I used to date a beauty queen,
Now I've got my m-16.
I used to drive a Cadillac,
Now I'm humping with a pack.
I used to wear my faded jeans,
Now I'm wearing cammie greens.
Whoa oh . . .
Momma, momma can't you see?
What the dubya's done to me?
I used to drive a Cadillac,
Now I'm cruisin' through Iraq.
They took away my smokes and rum,
But smokin' hajji's much more fun.
There's pay and benefits and such,
But KBR makes twice as much.
My intel came from spooks and men,
Now it comes from CNN.
Whoa oh . . .
Momma, momma can't you see?
What the sand has done to me?
I used to smoke during a break,
Now I double nic to stay awake.
My second tour got me divorced,
For number three we're back in force.
John, that IED's no joke,
McCain knows we're getting smoked.
There's TBI and amputees and such,
But DU's effects don't show as much.
Whoa oh . . .
I'd love to know who exactly made this song.

I kinda wish I could remember some of the cadences, though probably better not to. Basically all euphemisms for “kill and humiliate strangers, while sacrificing our personal lives and relationships.” And we all would laugh and cheer like idiots. #nationalism

@adamkokesh, Truly these words are deep and it holds the pain when our life totally changes and when our destination becomes false destiny, and many walked through the tough path of life where they hit by every bit.
When i see this world and ask mother nature about the life then nature replies, Your Nature Will Create Your Life, and at that time i understand that whatever we are facing, we are the reason.
We are greedy and we are just thinking about us but when we see children who haven't done anything but still they are dying due to lack of food then i feel that human beings are the greatest danger to this planet.
When we see today's Media then it's reflects as they very tactically feeding hate and they are making fools of common people but still we enjoy those news and those Propaganda Words.
Current world is in an situation where they are collaborating with love, peace and brotherhood but every ruler is meeting with power means they are taking about their military power and they are talking about what damage they can do, but we are not taking what love we can share, and we are not talking about the small understanding and that is we belongs to one tribe and that is humanity, and we all can grow if we share resources. Greediness will not take us anywhere but gratefulness and kindness can create an beautiful world.
And if we want to walk towards the right then the solution is decentralisation and that is because every common people hold the same right and we don't need rulers we need leaders and in decentralisation whole community can lead towards one direction with mutual understanding and this way hand in hand everyone can grow.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
