The Lyrics
Desert Vietnam- Afghanistan- Soviet '79-'89 version!
They put me in a zoo
serving time
USSR bails out Kabul
Mujahs fightin’
Land occupyin’
Soldiers couldn’t stand it
Fire from all around
My Dragunov handy
But even the Gratch couldn’t keep ‘em down!
[Constant attacks to deny us ground]
They put me in a zoo
serving time
War crimes
[Child dies]
Hinds hunt you
Hinds hunt you
Hinds hunt you
From caves to mountain cliffs
Support from air
Strike the enemy
Tough fight- we quit
[US Stingers bit]
Lunacy
They put me in a zoo
serving time
(Decade lost to Mujahideen)
serving time
USSR bails out Kabul
Mujahs fightin’
Land occupyin’
Soldiers couldn’t stand it
Fire from all around
My Dragunov handy
But even the Gratch couldn’t keep ‘em down!
[Constant attacks to deny us ground]
They put me in a zoo
serving time
War crimes
[Child dies]
Hinds hunt you
Hinds hunt you
Hinds hunt you
From caves to mountain cliffs
Support from air
Strike the enemy
Tough fight- we quit
[US Stingers bit]
Lunacy
They put me in a zoo
serving time
(Decade lost to Mujahideen)

Feel a little weird rating 5 for 'Funny' on this one - but I'm interpreting it as 'pathos' so that makes it okay - I think. :) Top job Rob - 555.
TY Wendy, and don't feel bad at all about the Funny category- the majority of parodies on AiR and in the real world are more sarcastic and witty more than anything else and usually reflect current events, politics, sports, etc... I love the hilarious stuff, but that again may be interpreted differently by other people. My morbid funny may be highly politically incorrect to someone else- even offensive. I push the envelope as far as I can, but also highly respect those that stick to humor only... but in the end a laugh is a laugh no matter what :)
Nasty and simultaneously funny in a grotesque way.
