NOTHIN' TO DO
Today there wasn't nothin' to do,
Wax the ship, clean the guns
Measure the grease in the C-Rat stew
A long day to think of loved ones
Sit in the shack and wait for the ring
Playing cards, playing Chess
Watch the T.V., or maybe sleeping
Time to contemplate our life, a mess
Today there wasn't nothin' to do
Write some letters, tell some jokes
Smoke a cigarette, have a chew
Drink a beer, take a few tokes
Get out the guitar and pick a few
Force your mind to cop a new view
Watch Matt Dillon and Elliot Ness
It don't matter much life's still a mess
Today there wasn't nothin' to do
Watch the rain, in inches per hour
Grab the soap and take an outdoor shower
Just another day, like all the other days
Our life's a clock that needs rewound
Rules of engagement with our hands bound
No one to kill, no one to save
I might have time to get a shave
But today there wasn't nothin' to do.
