			Don't often open up this floor 
Since I handed in my gun 
What all these keys are for 
Now my tour of duty's done 
You got to know the switches  
Now you got your turn 
Watch and learn, junior 
Watch and learn 
 
Now you will get your  
Trouble spots 
Here's one from  
Down voodoo way 
Bragged he had me  
By the you-know-whats 
Very funny, you don't say 
The big enchilada 
Stealing elections 
Had to go down there  
Trash collection 
Got his cojones  
On my desk in there 
Made into a souvenir 
Set of cufflinks, nice pair 
The rest of him's  
Someplace up here 
Sometimes you got to  
Put a shoulder to the door 
Not so fast, junior 
Listen to your pa 
Here, son 
I'm handing over to you 
Don't crash the ambulance 
Whatever you do 
 
What we have here's  
A dung hole place 
Thought it was fly shit  
On the map 
Fat bastard, ugly face 
And the personal crap 
You can't move the barriers 
You can't mess with oil and gas 
Had to go down there 
Stick a couple  
Aircraft carriers 
In his ass 
Fancy dress 
Medals chest  
It's all in here  
For all the gigs 
Gas mask 
Bullet-proof vest 
All the usual rigs  
There'll be things they missed 
They didn't mention 
You've even  
Got a whistle in there  
For attracting attention 
 
Well, I think you're gonna  
Be okay, son 
You've had the tour, I guess 
These two buttons 
By the way  
This one I hope 
You never press 
Some holy fool, just watch  
Who's not like you or me 
That one's the whole  
Shooting match 
Right there 
It's the whole shitaree 
We don't forget  
Who put us here, jack 
That's page one 
We talk soft  
But carry a big stick  
And pack the biggest gun 
We don't like accidents 
Major or minor 
You don't want yourself  
An incident 
Don't ever invade china 
 
Here, son 
I'm handing over to you 
Don't crash the ambulance 
Here, son 
I'm handing over to you 
Don't crash the ambulance 
Whatever you do
