One bright day in the middle of the night,
<br>Two dead boys rose to fight.
<br>
<br>Back to back they faced each other,
<br>Drew their swords and shot each other.
<br><Br>
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
<br>And came and killed those two dead boys.

<br>If you don't believe my story is true,

Cadence Era: Desert Storm
<br>Saddam Hussein is a son of a bitch,
<br>At least once a year he got an itch,
<br>To move his army round and round,
<br>While he stayed camped out underground.
<br>
<br>
1990 he said move em South,
<br>Go into Kuwait and kick them out,
<br>Take command of their oil fields,
<br>Then he ran into Desert Shield.
<br>
<br>
Forces pouring in from all around,
<br>Ready for a dog fight on the ground,
<br>Saddam said stack em up in the sand,
<br>We're not leaving let's make a stand,
<br>
<br>
Bush said you got til the count of three,
<br>I'm unleashing hell from above on thee,
<br>Little sand bunkers won't help you much,
<br>500 pounder has just the right touch.
<br>
<br>
Surrender is the only way,
<br>You'll see your family another day,
<br>Can't get mad cause you were warned,
<br>Welcome to the thunder of Desert Storm.
<br>
<br>B-52 flying by in the sun,
<br>A-10's gotta tank killing gun,
<br>Raven, Eagle and a Falcon too,
<br>Stealth's just gonna fly right through.
<br>
<br>Tomahawk missile flying in low,
<br>Keep your eyes open or you'll miss the show,
<br>Gotta loud knocking at your front door,
<br>Precision ass kicking time-need I say more.
<br>
<br>Where's your republican guard at now,
<br>Waiving white hankies and crying out loud,
<br>Please mister Bush call off your attack,
<br>We have no energy to fight back.
<br>
<br>Sent the Marine Corps to clean em up,
<br>Push em back to Baghdad without their stuff,
<br>Abrams coming so they turn and run,
<br>Can't run any further lay down their guns.
<br>
<br>Haven't you learned anything by now,
<br>Can't beat us in the air or on the ground,
<br>100 short hours is all we need,
<br>To put your sorry ass country on its knees.
<br>
<br>Next time you feel like getting an itch,
<br>Look back to Desert Storm and remember this,
<br>We can drop it down the chimney of your house,

Above the land, across the sea,
<br>We're everywhere, we need to be.
<br>
<br>We're brothers of a special kind,
<br>A better band, you'll never find.

<br>
Band of brothers, that's what we are,
<br>Fighting evil, near and far.
<br>
<br>
Band of brothers, that's what I said,
<br>Baptized by fire, scarred by lead.
<br>
<br>We're lean and mean, and fit to fight,
<br>Anywhere, day or night.
<br>
<br>
When bullets fly, and rockets fall,
<br>We'll stand our ground, and give our all.
<br>
<br>We're on the move, we're on the march,
<br>We're digging ditches, and breaking starch.
<br>
<br>
When you hear our battle cry,
<br>You better move and step aside.
<br>

Band of brothers, that's what we said,
<br>Mess with us, we'll shoot you dead.

Band of brothers, trained to kill,
<br>If we don't getcha, our sisters will.
