  • Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead
    Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
    Another day that could have been me there instead
    Nobody loves me here
    Nobody loves me here

    Dad's gonna kill me
    Dad's gonna kill me

    You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces
    With every bullet your risk increases
    Old ali baba, he's a different species
    Nobody loves me here
    Nobody loves me here

    Dad's gonna kill me
    Dad's gonna kill me

    I'm dead meat in my humv frankenstein
    I hit the road block, somehow I never hit the mine
    The dice rolled and I got lucky this time

    And dad's gonna kill me
    And dad's gonna kill me

    I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
    I might get home if I can live through today
    Before I came out here I never used to pray
    Nobody loves me here
    Nobody loves me here

    Dad's gonna kill me

    Woo, dad's in a bad mood, dad's got the blues
    It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
    At least we're winning on the Fox evening news
    Nobody loves me here
    Nobody loves me here

    Dad's gonna kill me
    Dad's gonna kill me

    Dawn patrol went out and didn't come back
    Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
    Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack

    And dad's gonna kill me
    And dad's gonna kill me

    Who's that stranger walking in my dreams?
    Whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart?
    Who's that stranger, I dare speak his name?
    Must be old death a-walking
    Must be old death a-walking

    Dad's gonna kill me

    Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row
    Standing, waiting for the sandbox to blow
    Sitting targets in the wild west show

    Nobody loves me here
    Nobody loves me here

    Dad's gonna kill me
    Dad's gonna kill me

    Another angel got his wings this week
    Charbroiled with his own willie pete
    Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak

    And dad's gonna kill me
    And dad's gonna kill me
    And dad's gonna kill me Writer/s: Richard John Thompson
