"Mulligan Goes To War" lyrics

What can I say? The man had chiggers

He graduated with a degree in poly-sci
Premeditated what he would do until he died
And then he faded into a never-rising sky
Surfaced in the Air Force, then learned how to fly

Mulligan goes to war
Mulligan goes to war
The days are gone
When he could tell you what he's fighting for
Mulligan goes to war

Flew helicopters with a patriotic grin
Built up brick walls, rarely letting people in
Had his pitfalls and he lived a life of sin
That life is over now, the new one must begin
Yeah

Mulligan goes to war
Mulligan goes to war
The days are gone
When he could tell you what he's fighting for
Mulligan goes to war

We all gotta go sometimes
Da da da da da
Hey!

Made his living selling real estate
Met his first wife, she came much too late
To save the low man, he was slowly growing mad
He lost his business, the economy went bad

Mulligan goes to war
Mulligan goes to war
Said the days are gone
When he could tell you what he's fighting for
Mulligan goes to war
To war...
