Red Cross

Thanks for coming out

on my birthday,

but please listen up,

I've got something to say.



I've joined the Red Cross,

I'm gonna get lost

in some bloody war in Africa,

I leave this month on the 23rd.



I'm leaving behind

everything fine,

unreal, contrived,

so I can find out

what's really mine.



I've joined the Red Cross,

I'm gonna get lost

in some bloody war in Africa,

where machetes gangs roam the streets,

I leave next week on the 23rd.
