[Verse 1]
2
When I was a young man I carried my pack
3
And lived the free life of the rover
4
I smoked on sativa, guitar on my back
5
And played my little songs all over
6
[Pre-Chorus 1]
7
But in 2010, my country said: "son
8
It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done"
9
And they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun
10
And they shipped me away to the war
11
[Chorus]
12
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus
13
A Party in the USA
14
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus
15
And we flew to the Afghan that day
16
[Verse 2]
17
I remember the day our orders came in
18
I was scared and my stomach was sinking
19
And when Martinez got shot, I cried with my gun
20
And I fired right back without blinking
21
[Pre-Chorus 2]
22
And we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well
23
We chased them with bullets
24
And we showered them with shells
25
And in ten minutes flood we blown them to hell
26
I thought of my mom in Atlanta
27
[Chorus]
28
Cause she always loved Miley Cyrus
29
A Party In The USA
30
Though the words seemed to take on new meaning
31
As I turned nineteen on that day
32
[Verse 3]
33
I looked at my brothers who'd once been young boys
34
And their eyes have gone black from the slaughters
35
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself for life
36
As we moved down the range towards the water
37
[Pre-Chorus 3]
38
But then one day a shell knocked my ass over head
39
And when I woked up in my hospital bed
40
And when I saw what it had done I wished I was dead
41
I never knew there were worse things than dying
42
[Chorus]
43
And the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus
44
As the doctors explained what was wrong
45
Yeah, the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus
46
But I no longer cared for that song
47
[Verse 4]
48
They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
49
And they sent us all home to Atlanta
50
The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
51
I wore fatigues and a blood red bandana
52
[Pre-Chorus 4]
53
We landed on the same runway we'd lefted on February
54
And when I looked down where my legs used to be
55
I thanked God that no one was waiting for me
56
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
57
[End-Chorus]
58
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus, again
59
A Party In The USA
60
And no one cheered they just stared at us
61
And slowly turned their heads away
62
Yes, they slowly turned their heads away
