Lyrics

Expendable Boy

Words: Joseph Abbott
Music: “Excitable Boy,” Warren Zevon

Well, he beamed to the surface in his red shirt dressed
Expendable boy, they all said
And a ball of snot rose and ate through his chest
Expendable boy, they all said
Well, he’s just an expendable boy

They sent him to gather some rocks on a lark
Expendable boy, they all said
He bit it facing their mom in the dark
Expendable boy, they all said
Well, he’s just an expendable boy

(Oooooh, Expendable boy)
(Oooooh, Expendable boy)

He took a tricorder to the ship becalmed
Expendable boy, they all said
And they don’t know just what killed him but they brought him home
Expendable boy, they all said
Well, he’s just an expendable boy

After ten long years, he clawed out of the grave
Expendable boy, they all said
And they dig his cool dancing at the alien rave
Expendable boy, they all said
Well, he’s just an expendable boy

This is the bio am I doing this right? Probably not.
