Deserter

Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus

Waking up
Something deadly ringing in my ear
Someone in my bed
And it ain’t me
I know where my clothes are at
I slap them on my back so fast
Get out before the big blue light blast
Twin engine enemy ain’t gonna get the jump on me

I withdrew

Just a thrown stone away
From the big, big drop
Living in a shack
With a pop named Bob
He don't like that
He don't like that

His light's 100 watts true to read the words
Of the savior late at night
I don't need that clue
To figure out the answers
To pass the exam
I've got them written on the back of my hand
On the bottom of my shoe

So long, so long
I withdrew
So long, so long
Deserter
So long, so long
Deserter
Deserter
Deserter
Deserter

I deserted the ranks of the zombie clones
And the bone-led leaders sucking hard
On the cone-headed government
No thanks, no thanks, it's in my memory banks
Tucked away in my piles
In my secret files
Of the who’s on the list up next
Gonna try to shackle my wrist
Plug my ears
Jump my sex
Make me crawl and cover for them
Make me find a lover for them
I refuse to even pick up the pen

So long, so long
I withdrew
So long, so long
I withdrew
So long, so long
I withdrew
So long, so long
So long, so long
Deserter
So long, so long
I slipped through
I slipped through

Enemy ain’t got nothing on me
Nothing on me
Enemy ain’t got nothing on me
Nothing on me
Enemy ain’t got nothing
