lyrics

I like my nose where it is, I don't follow it to a shitstorm.
I may know my left from my right, but I don't stomp my feet to another man's time.
One in three men in my family have, so I don't.
Exactly.
My toothbrush won't scrub no latrine, at my full-time night-woman's house is where it sleeps.
OK,

Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but No.
Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but No.
Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but No.
Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but no, ironically I didn't join the Army.

Airborne, whipping wings out left and right.
Made of steel, or hot and fried?
Parachutes were invented, despite jet engines;
Hope is not a course of action.
Maybe this is not a protest, but I won't play dumb, I won't ride the fence.
My boss makes a dollar while I make a dime and that's why I dump on government time.
OK

Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but No.
Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but No.
Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but No.
Looking for trouble? I may be looking for trouble, but no, ironically I didn't join the Army

'Cause I was told by a man very close to me that he joined so I wouldn't have to.

Fump Truck New York, New York

The twisted sense of humor that Army Brats hang on to is brought to you at tinnitus-inducing volume by Fump Truck.
Zac Lee Wood's solo take begins with a blunt tip about where to spend your Friday night and ends with a declaration of war on veganism, tightly packed into a micro-LP that would barely fill side-A of a cassette.
