E B7 E B7
Joey White, well he ain't got no choices
E B7 E B7
Just like his daddy did, he joins the armed forces
E B7 E B7
Gonna be a man, oh not a zero
E B7 E B7
For Uncle Sam, well he'll be a hero
Am
He don't know that Uncle Sam is a cartoon and not a man
E B7 E B7
Poor Joey White
[Chorus]
E B7 E B7
Oh Joey White, you better bite your tongue
E B7
You don't know jack, boy
E B7
You're young, dumb and full of cum
E B7 E B7
Better step in line, go with the others
E B7 E B7
Gonna fight for freedom, son, your country and your brothers
Am
Here's your boots and here's a gun
Learn when to fight, learn when to run
E B7 E B7
Poor Joey White
[Verse]
Am
Well he got two years in the sand,
E B7 E B7
And it will surely change his plans for life
[Chorus]
E B7 E B7
Joey White, well he gets his orders
E B7 E B7
Grab your things and we'll meet you at the border
E B7 E B7
Kill 'em all, no quarter given
E B7 E B7
Shoot on sight, boy, let God sort out the livin'
Am
Told ya no one's keeping score
This ain't no game, well this is war
E B7 E B7
For Joey White
[Verse]
Am
Yeah, from below and from the sky
Hear drums and bullets fly
B7
Oh a scream of battle cry
Bodies burn and brothers die
E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7 (strum hard)
Poor Joey White
[Chorus]
E B7 E B7
Joey White, well you better run faster
E B7 E~
You can't run fast enough to avoid this grave disaster
E B7 E B7
Well in a flash blood soaks his shirt
E B7 E B7
Drops to his knees, now he's face down in the dirt
Am
Now he's on that freedom bird
E B7 E B7
Gets to leave this Hell on Earth still alive
[Outro]
Am
Now his heart's filled up with lead
He got demons in his head
E~
For life
