Walter Reed

Walter Reed
(2008)

Well, my office is in a cave
I’m burning four packs a day
Been studying human nature and I
don’t have too much to say

It’s funny what you see
and what sticks in your gut
Of all the tragedies
there’s just one that digs a rut

And it’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it
If we’re gonna make it to Walter Reed
It’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it

It’s the last thought in my head
There’s no doubt in what I’ve said
Tell me what you think
Now let’s go

There’s a camera at my door
And a speech I gotta make
Been sleeping in the rear car
Remembering your face

Churning out the text
Shaking hands with what is next
If it weren’t for reading history
I might be second best

And it’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it
If we’re gonna make it to Walter Reed
It’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it

It’s the last thought in my head
There’s no doubt in what I’ve said
Tell me what you think
Now let’s go

Cooking trout by the river
On the rapids of a flooded street
Smirking at attention
Staring down the commander of the fleet

Sure don’t wanna rush
There’s just too much at stake
It’s gonna take a push
We’re bound to make mistakes

Gotta win not just get by
Gotta rest before you try
It’s a good thing someone listened
Cause the weather just is blind

And it’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it
If we’re gonna make it to Walter Reed
It’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it

It’s the last thought in my head
There’s no doubt in what I’ve said
Tell me what you think
Now let’s go

And it’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it
If we’re gonna make it to Walter Reed
It’s really unclear if we’re gonna make it

It’s the last thought in my head
There’s no doubt in what I’ve said
Tell me what you think
Now let’s go
