Drone Operator Songtext
von Jon Langford

I′m not really a soldier
I'm more likely to die
By cardiac or cancer
Than an eye in the sky
That follows them home
Right in through their window
And they′ll never know
They'll never know

When I was a young boy
Well, I played all the games
Straight out of glass school
Someone gave them my name
So I drifted into
A job with good pay
Through traffic and construction
I drive in every day


So don't call me a coward
I know what is allowed
I′m like a god with thunderbolts
Sitting on a big white cloud

Yeah, I′m a drone operator
I got targets to scan
I sit drinking coffee
With one eye on the ground and that tribal lands
I'm a drone operator
I am part of a team
I study my monitor
Wipe some dust from the screen

It didn′t look like a wedding
It really wasn't my call
When it all was over
We went to a bar

We drank beer and watched basketball
Can I buy you a drink?
Yeah, I′d do it all again
To stem the flow of body bags
That politicians find so hard to explain
So please don't complain
There′s no pain, no pain


And when this bar is closed

I'll follow you home
I'll follow you home
In through your window
You′ll never know
Well, you′ll never know
In through your window

Follow you home
And you'll never know
You′ll never know
Follow you home
In through your window
You'll never know
You′ll never know
