Drone Operator

[Verse 1]
I'm not really a soldier
I'm more likely to die
By car wreck or cancer
Than an eye in the sky
That follows them home
Right in through their window
They'll never know
They'll never know

[Verse 2]
When I was a young boy
Well I played all the games
Straight out of grad school
Someone gave them my name
So I drifted into
A job with good pay
Through traffic and construction
I drive in every day

[Verse 3]
So don't call me a coward
I know what is allowed
I'm like a god with a thunderbolt
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 in the tribal lands

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Can I buy you a drink?
Yeah I’d do it all again
To stem the flow of body bags
The 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

[Outro]
In through your window (follow you home)
You’ll never know (follow you home)
Well, you’ll never know (follow you home)
(Follow you home, follow you home)
(Follow you home, follow you home)
In through your window
I'll follow you home (follow you home)
And you’ll never know (follow you home)
You’ll never know
Follow you home (follow you home)
In through your window
You’ll never know
You’ll never know
