6 o'clock in the morning And I'm the last person in this plane still awake Y'know I can almost smell the blood Washing against the shores Of this land that can't forget its past Oh, the wind that carries this plane Is the wind of change Heaven sent and hell bent Over the mountain tops we go Just like all the other G.I. Joe's Ee aye ee aye adios!
This is your captain calling With an urgent warning We're above the Gulf of Arabia Our altitude is falling And I can't hold her up There's no time for thinking All hands on deck This bird is sinking
Across the beaches and cranes Rivers and trains All the money I've made Bodies I've maimed Time was when I seemed to know Just like any other G.I. Joe Should I cry like a baby Or die like a man? While all the planets little wars Start joining hands Oh, what a heaven what a hell Y'know there's nothing can be done In this whole wide world
I don't know what's wrong or right I'm just a regular guy With bottled up insides I ain't ever been to church Or believed in Jesus Christ But I'm praying That God's with you when you die
This is your captain calling With an urgent warning We're above the Gulf of Arabia Our altitude is falling And I can't hold her up There's no time for thinking All hands on deck This bird is sinking
