My Daddy’s Dad he caught a ride On a ‘Magic Carpet Ship’ Rode home in 1945 With a bullet in his hip He woulda followed Eisenhower to the belly of the sun Fought a nasty conflict with the bottle, another war he won He never liked to talk a lot About the things he saw But he hated nazis even more Than he loved Omaha I’m sorta glad he’s not around To see ‘em rise from the underground Good God his anger woulda been profound To see the soul of his Party gettin’ dead and drowned Go from something good to something Oh So Bad Grampa woulda been so mad Gramps woulda been so mad My Mama’s brother had real long hair And he smoked that silly stuff And even though he felt that it wasn’t fair Well his number wasn’t high enough His hair was short and his heart was scared when he landed in Saigon And in the end he lost a leg, but he found his best friend John They never liked to talk a lot About the things they saw But John and Jacob loved to laugh About basic in Louisiana Well John passed on by his own hand And now Jacob has a hard time understanding ‘They said our dumb war was to take a stand Keep a Russian dictatorship from expanding Now the new boss loves the new Russian lunatic Good God it woulda made John sick God it woulda made John sick Well good ol’ Kate she was my prom date But she never was more than a friend She went for ROTC at State I studied art at the U of M Something changed in both of our brains on the day the towers fell And war gave us different kinds of urgency, ringing out like a bell She never liked to talk a lot About the things she saw But one drunk night she opened up About the Battle of Baqubah It sure is hard to overstate How it broke my heart to hear how she hated The new people coming into our state And the border wall that she advocated And it made me think ‘What has happened to my friend? And how is this gonna end? How is it gonna end? And one day if you say you gotta punch a nazi Good God I hope you do, But they say there’s a beast in everyone I hope you learn to sooth her too What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?
