Thanks for coming outon my birthday,
but please listen up,
I've got something to say.
I've joined the Red Cross,
I'm gonna get lost
in some bloody war in Africa,
I leave this month on the 23rd.
I'm leaving behind
everything fine,
unreal, contrived,
so I can find out
what's really mine.
I've joined the Red Cross,
I'm gonna get lost
in some bloody war in Africa,
where machetes gangs roam the streets,
I leave next week on the 23rd.
