The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
We got an operation goin' on And it don't have to trouble me and you The country boys will do the fighting Now that fighting's all a country boy can do We got a handle on it this time No one's gonna tell us we were wrong We won't let the cameras near the fighting That way we won't have another Vietnam No one knows, 'cause no one sees No one cares, 'cause no one knows No one knows, 'cause no one sees it on TV She works a checkpoint in the city Choking on the gravel dust and smog She knows not to stop the black Suburban Those guys will run you down just like a dog The KBR man knows her trailer He hips her to some recon that he's found And he'll be coming by for a late inspection And there'd best not be no soldier boy around No one knows, 'cause no one sees No one cares, 'cause no one knows No one knows, 'cause no one sees it on TV And don't they look just like on "SEAL Team", Lord, don't they look the best? When we trot them out at halftime or the seventh inning stretch They stand up in their uniforms and help us sell the show Dying by their own hands for reasons we don't know We got an operation going on It don't have to trouble you and me A KBR man cooks a T-bone A soldier's choking down an MRE We just go on about our business Drop the kids off at the mall Play the Black Ops on the laptop And don't make too big a fuss about it all No one knows, 'cause no one sees No one cares, 'cause no one knows No one knows, 'cause no one sees No one cares, 'cause no one knows No one knows, 'cause no one sees it on TV We got an operation goin' on
