break them bad boys down

The big gun got the big bullet

The big bullet boom boom the big sound

Pack the powder in the big bullet

The big bullet break them bad boys down

The big gun got the big bullet

The big bullet boom boom the big sound

Pack the powder in the big bullet

The big bullet break them bad boys down

Oh break the break break break the bad boys

Break them bad boys down

I remember being 18 years old

I walked out to my mailbox and nearly lost my soul

 I read that letter just as loud as can be

Welcome Private Benfield to the U.S. Army

So I packed up my bags and kissed my baby goodbye

Hopped on my first airplane and I flew up in the sky

My sergeant saw me and he looked me in the eyes

He said welcome Private Benfield to the last day of your life

He said sit your ass down boy and get ready to have some fun

Strap on your seatbelt and fire this here gun

He said shut your mouth boy don't you make a sound

Your only job here is to break them bad boys

The big gun got the big bullet

The big bullet boomboom the big sound

Pack the powder in the big bullet

The big bullet break them bad boys down

The big gun got the big bullet

The big bullet boomboom the big sound

Pack the powder in the big bullet

The big bullet break them bad boys down

Oh break the break break break the bad boys

Break them bad boys down

Well I walked through that village with them people so mean

Then crossed a crooked cable bridge into the jungle green

As I recall I was looking straight ahead

When I realized back at home that I didn't have a care

But now I'm scared, alone, shaken to the bones

I'm writing letters to my girly as she is smilin back at home

I see this city quickly burning up ahead

The sounds of shrapnel singing glory in my head

So I cross my finger and say my last prayer

Swallowing hopeless grasps of air knowing I ain't yet prepared

So I strap up and shut up, I get down to the ground

Then I lock and load my rifle then I shoot them bad boys
