The Ballad Of Anthony Kienlen (Twenty Two a Day) Lyrics[Verse 1]
There’s a place in Oklahoma does G.I. Joe repair
Started back before it got unpopular to care
Some Joes are past the point of ever being saved
Some Joes are all mixed up and prone to misbehave
[Chorus]
Toy soldiers never die they just get thrown away
Perfect plastic paradise god bless the USA
Where we bury 22 a day
[Verse 2]
That Joe ran right out of reasons to exist
Waited 'til his wife left took a razor to his wrist
Cops they sent out weren’t the type to help much anyway
But dispatch shoulda told those good old boys to stay away
Kienlen went full outlaw started laying down some hate
Told 'em he would Kill them all if they came through the gate
One shot from his rifle took their drone out of the sky
Nothing scares you like a man who’s not afraid to die
[Chorus]
Toy soldiers never die they just get thrown away
Perfect plastic paradise god bless the USA
Where we bury 22 a day
[Verse 3]
One Joe in a jail cell pissed off the da
16 counts attempted murder can’t bond out today
Wouldn’t be surprised if he thought no one out there cares
Needs a brother in Oklahoma for GI Joe repairs
