Military Man

"It was drizzling" outside
And I am feeling nothing
And you're reading on the road again
It reminds me of a day when
Nothing happened
Except I thought I meant something
But for only a little while

"Don't shake the military man's hand
You know what will happen
one shot and now you're in Japan"

Hey could this be
Is this one of those
Burn essentials
A talk back at a higher level
Or is it a masquerade
I'm in an earthquake with no breakables
I'm in a car wreck with no pants at all
I'm in a movie with no self-control
and you said,

"Don't shake the military man's hand
You know what will happen
one shot and now you're in Japan
Don't shake the military man's hand
You know what will happen
Flashback and now you're in command"

Grab my coat
And make it snappy
This is start your engine
A self-start in self participation
This is motivation
