Lyrics
- I count the corpses on my left
- I find I'm not so tidy
- So I better get away
- Better make it today
- I've cut twenty-three down since Friday
- But I can't control it
- My face is drawn
- My instinct still emotes it
- I slash them cold
- I kill them dead
- I broke the gooks
- I cracked their heads
- I'll bomb them out from under the beds
- But now I've got the running gun blues
- It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
- Left generals squashed and stifled
- But I'll slip out again tonight
- 'Cause they haven't taken back my rifle
- For I promote oblivion
- And I'll plug a few civilians
- I'll slash them cold
- I'll kill them dead
- I'll break them gooks
- I'll crack their heads
- I'll slice them till they're running red
- But now I've got the running gun blues
