Stray Bullets - Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

I I I sail away

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

Slide on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

What is lost

You gave away

Stray bullets rainin' on

Down, down, down

Stray bullets rainin' on down

Me and Danny Lord and Steve

Were fuckin' drunk on New Year’s Eve

Singin,' drinkin,' playin' guitars

Layin' 'round

We pulled the shotgun out the shed and

Fired it towards the heavens

Stray bullets rainin' on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

I I I sail away

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

Slide on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

What is lost

You gave away

Stray bullets rainin' on

Down, down, down

Stray bullets rainin' on down

Back of an Ace uncovered truck

The captain laughed and said, «Good luck»

As we rolled on through

Our first Iraqi town

From the rooftop we got blasted

Danny Lord’s spine came unfastened

Stray bullets rainin' on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

I I I sail away

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

Slide on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

What is lost

You gave away

Stray bullets rainin' on

Down, down, down

Stray bullets rainin' on down

Fifteen months lost in Iraq

We got stop-lossed, they sent us back

Why the fuck we’re even here I’ll never know

Me and Steve, we went out walkin'

A few of us have started talkin'

And now we’ve got a mission of our own

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

I I I sail away

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

Slide on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

What is lost

You gave away

Stray bullets rainin' on

Down, down, down

Stray bullets rainin' on down

'Cause now we’re comin' for the captain

To reap the seeds he’s sewn

Everybody hit the deck

'Cause his tent’s about to blow

Tell the general when we find him

He’ll be the next to go

Yeah, we’re coming for the captain

And then we’re going home

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

I I I sail away

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

Slide on down

Woah oh oh, ayy ee yay

What is lost

You gave away

Stray bullets rainin' on

Down, down, down

Stray bullets rainin' on down
