Down On The Base

(专辑： Asylum Choir II - 1971)

When I was home on Skyhill Drive
Was electronically alive
But now I'm living in Vandenberg
So militarily absurd

When things are slow down on the base
We can shoot tear gas in the dummy's face
We can stick our bayonets in the ground
When the President comes we'll stand around

He'll give a dollar for your fingers
Two dollars for your eyes
You pay the price of freedom, boy so realize

Well I guess I'll help in B.F. Nam
Teach 'em how to vote and how to bomb
My life's a small enough price to pay
To teach those commies American Way

Now I'm laying on my face
And the death explosions every place
I thought I heard the medic say, "he's blind!"
I guess I'm next to stand in line

I'll get a dollar for my fingers
Two dollars for my eyes
I paid the price of freedom, now I realize
I can see the world's a better place if I could see it all
I hear my German shepherd coming down the hall
