lyrics

A DIFFICULT SOLDIER


He salutes the passing clouds
He takes orders from the wind
he wears a helmet from white daisies
He feeds the generals horse with beans

He even kissed the sergeant on the mouth
one time he shot a bunkbed full of holes
He worships a clay figurine
of an enormous penis
and when new hookers come to town
it's a religious holiday
no fighting allowed

He lets the air out of jeeps tires
He eats mud pies
he rides across the battlefield on a bicycle
He walks backwards to the front

He picks flowers on retreat
He applauds like a crazy boy at the circus
When he hears the sound of artillery,
he fires bullets into the sun
whenever he is ordered to kill,
whenever he is ordered to kill
