Dad's Gonna Kill Me by Richard Thompson

Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead
Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
Another day that could have been me there instead
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's (1)__________ (2)________ me
Dad's gonna kill me

You hit the (3)__________ (4)________ and you're in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases
Old ali baba, he's a (5)__________________ species
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

I'm (6)________ meat in my humv frankenstein
I hit the road block, somehow I (7)__________ hit the mine
The dice (8)____________ and I got (9)__________ this time

And dad's gonna kill me
And dad's gonna kill me

I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
I might get (10)________ if I can live (11)______________ today
Before I came out (12)________ I never used to pray
Nobody loves me here
Nobody (13)__________ me here

Dad's gonna kill me

Woo, dad's in a bad mood, dad's got the blues
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're winning on the Fox evening news
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me

Hug the wire and (16)________ like I told you, Mac

Whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart?
Who's that stranger, I dare speak his name?
Must be old death a-walking
Must be old (22)__________ a-walking

Dad's gonna (23)________ me

Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing, waiting for the sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the wild west show
Nobody loves me here
Nobody (24)__________ me here

Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me

Another (25)__________ got his wings (26)________ week
Charbroiled with his own willie pete
Nobody's dying if you (27)__________ double-speak
