Cheney's Toy |
| Another unknown soldier |
| Another lesson learned |
| Kick the gas can over |
| Strike a match get back and watch that sucker burn |
| Keep smiling for the camera |
| Keep waving to the crowd |
| Don’t let up for an instant |
| Stay the course and make your mama proud |
| (CHORUS 1) |
| You’re the man |
| Show’em what you’re made of You’re no longer daddy’s boy |
| You’re the man |
| That they’re all afraid of But you’re only Cheney’s toy |
| Another unknown soldier |
| Who’s seen it all before |
| All in the name of Jesus |
| Behind the razor wire and shackled to the floor |
| Just keep smiling at the cameras |
| And keep that twinkle in your eye |
| We don’t need to know the answers |
| Long as we’re safe, just hit your marks and say your lines |
| (CHORUS 2) |
| You’re the man |
| Show 'em what you’re made of You’re no longer daddy’s boy |
| Take a stand |
| Give 'em what they paid for |
| 'Cause you’re only Cheney’s toy |
| They’ll take a fork and turn you over |
| While the fat lady sings |
| One more pin on one more shoulder |
| Is all the future brings |
| For another unknown soldier |
| Who don’t know his own name |
| And he won’t get any older |
| And he can’t see for the shrapnel in his brain |
| (Multi Chorus) |
