He said

You never told me I'd get my a*s shot at
The first night in combat we went out on patrol
They ambushed our convey and we chased the asshole
We found them all hidin' in low water ditches
And we took aim and killed all them son of a b***hes

You'll meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade

Over here in the desert we grade on the curve
Ah
You'll meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade
It's not a job
It's an adventure
Oh
