Leon Russell - Down On the Base lyrics

Artist: Leon Russell

album: Asylum Choir


When i was home Skyhill Drive
Was electronically alive
But now I'm livin' in Vandeberg
So military absurd
When things are slow down on the base
We can shoot tear gas in the dummy's face
We can stick our bayonets in the ground
When the president comes we'll stand around
He'll give a dollar for your fingers
Two dollar for your eyes
You pay the price of freedom, boy so realize
♪
Well I guess I'll help in B.F Nam
Teach 'em how to vote and how to bomb
My life's a small enough price to pay
To teach those commies American Way
Now I'm laying on my face
And the death explosion every place
I thought I heard the medic say, "he's blind"
I guess I'm next to stand in line
I'll get a dollar for my fingers
Two dollar for my eyes
I paid the price of freedom, now I realize
I can see the world's a better place if I could see it all
I hear my German shepherd coming down the hall
