Army (Explicit)

Army (Explicit) - Ben Folds Five

Well I thought about the army

Dad said Son you're f**king high

And I thought

Yeah there's a first for everything

So I took my old man's advice

Three sad semesters

It was only 15 grand

Spent in bed I thought about the army

I dropped out and joined a band instead

Grew a mustache and a mullet

Got a job at Chick-Fil-A

Citing artistic differences

The band broke up in May

And in June reformed without me

And they got a different name

I nuked another Grandma's apple pie

And hung my head in shame no

Been thinking a lot today

Been thinking a lot today

Oh think I'll write a screenplay

Oh think I'll take you to LA

Oh think I'll get it done yesterday

Aw s**t

In this time of introspection

On the eve of my election

I say to my reflection

God please spare me more rejection

'Cause my peers they criticize me

And my ex-wives all despise me

Try to put it all behind me

But my redneck past is nipping at my heels

Thinking a lot today

Been thinking a lot today

Been thinking a lot today

I thought about the army
