lyrics

Quitting the army

I quit the army
With a cloud over me.
Don’t say I was discharged
Dishonourably.

Always wanted to kill a man with my bare hands.
Top brass fucked me in the arse
I was hung out to dry on the Siegfried Line.

The passing out parade
Was a fucking charade.
Those Puckapunyal days
Just got in the way.

Always wanted to love a man with my bare hands.
Underdressed in the Officers’ Mess
The NCO was less than impressed.

The hard drive still warm
With Anzac porn.

Always wanted to blow up a man with my bare hands.
Always wanted to blow a man with my bare hands.

It all detonated, we had just invaded,
It was bully beef, but it was deftly plated.
It was always fated, it was stress-related
It was never made clear, but it was intimated.
Now I’m quitting the army
I’m quitting the army.
I’m quitting the army.
I’m Q-U-I-DOUBLE T-I-N-G-T-H-E-A-R-M-Y.
