Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
for a slice of Texas cow
We'd like to be heroes,
but all that we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes,
but all that we do here is march
And they don't give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
Cause they're all wearin' signs saying:
"Keepen sie off the grass"
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse

"At ease"You can see the walls in her eyes
It's holding back the world outside
You can feel the weight of her life
And you know that she thinks it's cold outside
You can understand her view
Just close her eyes and forget what's true
But you can let her know that the wall must still be broken
And you can let her know that the truth must still be spoken
Stone girl
Feeling nothing
Stone girl
Accepting nothing
Running away from life's confusion
Stone girl
And the time has come for her now
To grab whatever life will allow
You can feel the hope in her vow
And escape is all her mind will allow
But you can let her see that the wall must still be broken
And you can let her see that her words must still be spoken
It doesn't matter what they think
Because in the end you're on your own
She could shatter what they think
And show the world that she has grown
Silence brings her pain
Words could stop this rain
She must speak before she leaves today
Words could break the wall
But she won't speak at all
She must shout before she leaves today
