Pray for war get paid to fight
and bill them fuckers with all your might
machine guns and new combat boots
wrap around shades to guard the suits
playing army like when we were kids
always submitting the highest bids
thank you Jesus and Mr. Cheney
for passing some manna down to me

search your reflection in the wading pool
blackwater and an entrenching tool
ignore the crows feet and the extra pounds
and the unaccounted for rounds

Green Berets and Navy Seals
Army Rangers and no appeals
I can have my cake I can eat it too
back to the green zone to screw
the law is where we set the bar
and we can wish upon a star
to make a grown man disappear
and pop another ice cold beer

search for your reflection in the wading pool
blackwater and an entrenching tool
I'm only getting what I am owed
plenty of room to lock and load

Is this a great country or what?
just learn to keep your big mouth shut
watch my back while I watch his
take notes there might be a quiz
we own these streets we own this town
keep 'em all laying dirt face down
some say we're the ones to blame
for giving the Doobies Brothers a bad name

ol' blackwater keep on rolling
No bid moons won't you keep on shining 
ol' blackwater keep on rolling
No bid moons won't you keep on shining 
ol' blackwater keep on rolling
No bid moons won't you keep on shining on me

Pray for war get paid to fight
and bill them fuckers with all your might
