Fast Times of Jarhead Jerry

Got myself cancer today, but
I figured as much. Don’t have
Much time, I have to run and
Get another colt 45.


It’s cold, it’s fall. By now I
Got cancer all through me, I’m
Cold, I have no blanket.

I need to refrain from asking
For help, self reliance is the
Key.

They spent eight thousand
Getting me ready, spent nothing
Calming me down.

I can fight blindly now an
Enemy with no names.
May I call you Charlie?

Spring time, cancer eating at my
Brain, I can not stand, I shall
Not worry for I have a needle in
The night stand.

Born, Woke up, took a shit, went to school, came home took a shit, went to bed.

Woke up, took a shit, went to work, came home took a shit, went to bed.

Woke up, went to war, killed three people by noon, came home, took a shot, went to bed.

Woke up, took a shit, went back to work, came home, took a shit went to bed.

Woke up next morning, took a shit, got married, had a kid, went to work, came home, took a shit, went to bed.

Woke up, took a shit, got cancer, came home took a shit and died.

Woke up sometime in the AM saw some soldier’s wife. Some hood stole her purse. Guess it makes better T.V. Why don’t they look at me?

Hey, Hey over here someone stole my leg and my sanity.
Guess we don’t make good T.V.
