Description
Great funk rock song about failing in the Army and starting again! I wrote the slap bass-line for this song in my first year of university in the late hours of the night in my old tiny flat on the 4th floor room 4 of Eddington Tower. The Lyrics came to me after watching old Vietnam war movies and films focusing on the 60s & 70s such as Across the Universe. Karla did a great job singing this one, the riffs are catchy & memorable! That's Army Song!
Lyrics
Army Song (Lyrics by Maxwell Woodger) Verse 1: Manic Frustration and having no fun Losing concentration and dropping the bomb I know we missed the target, they'll find us out come on got to leave now, can't be about Mission over Push abort shot down messed it up Chorus: I failed my mission I failed my wife I screwed up big time loss of life I’ll start it over make amends no more chances I’ll haft to fight them Verse 2: Sonic Vocation, the call to arms Deadly creation, potential to harm A moving target is hard to fight Stood still, I’m in for the kill Shot down Messed it up Mission over Push Abort Chorus: (see above) Verse 3: Hallucination is such a cheap thrill Missiles charging, which one is real? Drugs on the brain, I’m going insane Forget the plan, give up army man Mission over Push abort shot down messed it up Chorus: (see above)
