I wanna take off from a carrier some day before I die Strap that Viper to a catapult and watch that sucker fly 200 knots in under 2 seconds That's my kinda fun Do a barrel roll just after takeoff Just like in Top Gun But I don't wanna land Allow me to explain and you'll understand 'Cause it ain't about the landing Why would I care? You never have a crosswind and you never have to flare You got 4 fucking wires, how could you miss? I can't think of anything that's easier than this But once you're on the deck my friend you'll never be the same 'Cause you're stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere with five thousand other men Join the navy? I don't think so Living on a boat? I don't think so Hot bunking? I don't think so Doing night traps? Fuck that! I don't think so
Sure I thought about the Navy but decided to pass I love my five star hotels and per diem out the ass I do all of my fighting well within the shore Cable TV and cappacinos - that's the way that you fight a war This spoiled life - it can grow old When the coffee ain't fresh, the sheets ain't soft and the beer is only somewhat cold
