Drone Operator

I'm not really a soldier

I'm more likely to die

By cardiac or cancer

Than an eye in the sky

That follows them home

Right in through their window

And they'll never know

They'll never know

When I was a young boy

Well, I played all the games

Straight out of glass school

Someone gave them my name

So I drifted into

A job with good pay

Through traffic and construction

I drive in every day

So don't call me a coward

I know what is allowed

I'm like a god with thunderbolts

Sitting on a big white cloud

Yeah, I'm a drone operator

I got targets to scan

I sit drinking coffee

With one eye on the ground and that tribal lands

I'm a drone operator

I am part of a team

I study my monitor

Wipe some dust from the screen

It didn't look like a wedding

It really wasn't my call

When it all was over

We went to a bar

We drank beer and watched basketball

Can I buy you a drink?

Yeah, I'd do it all again

To stem the flow of body bags

That politicians find so hard to explain

So please don't complain

There's no pain, no pain

And when this bar is closed

I'll follow you home

I'll follow you home

In through your window

You'll never know

Well, you'll never know

In through your window

Follow you home

And you'll never know

You'll never know

Follow you home

In through your window

You'll never know

You'll never know
