Dad's Gonna Kill Me by Richard Thompson

Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead
Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
Another day that could have been me there instead
Nobody loves me here
Nobody (1)__________ me here

Dad's gonna kill me

I might get home if I can live (3)______________ today
Before I came out here I never used to pray
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's gonna kill me

It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're winning on the Fox evening news
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Seven (8)____________ (9)______________ standing in a row
Standing, waiting for the sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the wild west show

Charbroiled with his own willie pete
Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak
