I finished writing this song lyric on 28th February and a week later this happened… http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17330205 .
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
THEY POSTED HIM OUT TO AFGHANISTAN
HIS DAD HOPED IT WOULD MAKE OF HIM A MAN
LIKE IT HAD FOR HIM OUT IN VIETNAM
RISKING LIFE AND LIMB FOR UNCLE SAM
HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HIS MUM WERE REALLY SCARED
EVERYBODY SEEMED AS IF THEY CARED
HE WAS
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
HE SPENT MANY WEEKS FIGHTING WITH THE TALIBAN
GOT A NEW TATTOO THOUGHT IT PROVED HE WAS A MAN
GREW A BEARD THAT MADE HIM LOOK LIKE CHARLIE CHAN
THEN HIS GIRLFRIEND WROTE HE WAS IN THE DUMPER VAN
THAT’S WHEN THE SITUATION BEGAN TO GET HIM DOWN
THAT WAS WHY HE RODE HIS JEEP INTO KABUL TOWN
HE WAS
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
DRINKING ILLEGAL HOOCH WITH THREE OTHER GUYS
HE LOST ALL REASON ANGRY TEARS FILLED UP HIS EYES
PICKING UP HIS M16 HE RAN AMOK IN THE NOONDAY SUN
SHOOTING SHOPPERS WILLY NILLY FIRING ON THE RUN
A SNIPER WITH A LAZER SIGHT AIMED A BEAD OF RED
SLOWLY PULLED THE TRIGGER AND SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD
HE WAS
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
AN ALL AMERICAN BOY
