down on the base - leon russell & marc benno lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was home on skyhill drive
was electronically alive
but now i’m livin’ in vandenberg
so militarily absurd
when things are slow down on the base
we can shoot tear gas in the dummy’s face
we can stick our bayonets in the ground
when the president comes we’ll stand around
[chorus]
he’ll give a dollar for your fingers
two dollars for your eyes
you pay the price of freedom, boy so realize
[verse 2]
well i guess i’ll help in b.f. nam
teach ’em how to vote and how to bomb
my life’s a small enough price to pay
to teach those commies american way
now i’m layin’ on my face
and the death explosions every place
i thought i heard the medic say, “he’s blind!”
i guess i’m next to stand in line
[chorus]
i’ll get a dollar for my fingers
two dollars for my eyes
i paid the price of freedom, now i realize
i can see the world’s a better place if i could see it all
i hear my german shepherd coming down the hall
