Wrench Bender

Wrench Bender's Revolt

I'm a young wrench bender on a fighter ramp
A greasy pair of britches is my trademark stamp
And I'm present for duty every day if it rains or shines
I'm a three-stripe sergeant with a wife and a child
The Mickey Mouse crap nearly drives me wild
And my pay's about half of what they make in the old salt mine

Well I could go AWOL
But it wouldn't help at all

And Earthquake Titus would hang me at sunrise
So I'll just hope it don't get no worse
I hope this song's got a second verse
'Cause I got a couple of things that I wanta say

Seven days a week just ain't my bag
But I still do it 'cause I love the flag
But I can't help believin' that there's gotta be a better way
A decent way of living for my wife and my kid
A chance now and then to tell ^fem what I did
And a little help from Washington to raise my
poorhouse pay

And I'll baby them air frames
Work nights and play war games
And I won't let you down, Boss Man, you'll see
Just let me know when to do my thing
And I'll be there when the klaxon rings
Just back me up and I'll back you up every time
