mike posner - miley cyrus lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was a young man i carried my pack
and lived the free life of the rover
i smoked on sativa, guitar on my back
and played my little songs all over
[pre-chorus 1]
but in 2010, my country said: “son
it’s time to stop rambling, there’s work to be done”
and they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun
and they shipped me away to the war
[chorus]
and the dj played miley cyrus
a party in the usa
and the dj played miley cyrus
and we flew to the afghan that day
[verse 2]
i remember the day our orders came in
i was scared and my stomach was sinking
and when martinez got shot, i cried with my gun
and i fired right back without blinking
[pre-chorus 2]
and we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well
we chased them with bullets
and we showered them with sh-lls
and in ten minutes flood we blown them to h-ll
i thought of my mom in atlanta
[chorus]
cause she always loved miley cyrus
a party in the usa
though the words seemed to take on new meaning
as i turned nineteen on that day
[verse 3]
i looked at my brothers who’d once been young boys
and their eyes have gone black from the slaughters
and for ten weary weeks i kept myself for life
as we moved down the range towards the water
[pre-chorus 3]
but then one day a sh-ll knocked my -ss over head
and when i woked up in my hospital bed
and when i saw what it had done i wished i was dead
i never knew there were worse things than dying
[chorus]
and the nurses hummed miley cyrus
as the doctors explained what was wrong
yeah, the nurses hummed miley cyrus
but i no longer cared for that song
[verse 4]
they collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
and they sent us all home to atlanta
the armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
i wore fatigues and a blood red bandana
[pre-chorus 4]
we landed on the same runway we’d lefted on february
and when i looked down where my legs used to be
i thanked god that no one was waiting for me
to grieve and to mourn and to pity
[end-chorus]
and the dj played miley cyrus, again
a party in the usa
and no one cheered they just stared at us
and slowly turned their heads away
yes, they slowly turned their heads away
