First Blood Lyrics – The Mountain Goats
Mail-ordered body armor
Map to the Blue Bucket Mine
Guy who had a place down by the lakeside
Changing water to wine
Devastating schematics
Rough drafts of the 23rd psalm
Paul Kersey never left his apartment
John Rambo never went to Vietnam
Armor-piercing Black Talons
From the first production line
Nobody’s seen them in the wild
Since 1991
Out in the cul-de-sacs at midnight
Where the candy for the cannons comes from
I heard Buford Pusser was dirty
John Rambo never went to Vietnam
Shall we rise to the occasion
Or go to sleep for good in the trenches?
Dug in beneath a brilliant blue sky
Helmets hanging *** in the branches
Empty vessels by the dozens
Diamonds in the sun
We worship nothing in the foxholes
John Rambo never went to Vietnam
John Rambo never went to Vietnam
