Steel Blue Lyrics by Recessive Traits

A Dip In Your Gene Pool

0

[Verse 1]
This is no place for a man with a conscience
This is no place for a moral man to hide
I signed up for weekend work
A chance for some extra time
Some buddies from high school
They said it would be cool
They said it would be alright
[Verse 2]
Maintenance mechanic, a place to grow, they said
But it's summer back home, I should be fishing instead
And now I’m looking out the window
Of my first class olive drab
The gulf of Mexico laughing back like steel blue
[Verse 3]
Morality is simple, now good and bad are black and white
Left and right, night and day through the commanding officer's eyes
They took a knife and severed the connection
Between the halves of my brains
I don't worry too much, I don’t think too much
I don't have any more of the pain
[Verse 4]
My hands are all wet from gripping my weapon so tight
So I shift my grip for a cool feel to make it seem alright
Back in the campground, I'm thinking what I found
In the jungle of San Salvador
We'll take a quote from Monroe
We'll fight 'til we know we are safe from the big red machine
[Outro]
Laughing like steel blue
Laughing like steel blue
Laughing like steel blue
Laughing like steel, steel, steel blue
