about
Talking blues about a guy who orders a do-it-yourself kit to make a predator drone, gets arrested for having it, and ultimately reaches an "understanding" with the authorities.
lyrics
Yeah
Predator drone
Well, I got me a popular science magazine
And was reading all about the latest popular machine
When I spotted an ad at the bottom of the page
For a do-it-yourself-kit popular rage: Predator Drone.
Do-it-yourself Predator Drone.
So I clipped out the coupon and mailed it in
And in a couple of weeks the doorbell rang
And a man was standing there: got a package for you.
So, I said, “Come on in.” And, he said, “OK.”
And waved to his buddies to give him a hand
And in came the boxes – a lot of boxes.
Then, he said, “Sign right here on the line”
And, I inspected the cargo and said, “It looks fine.”
And, was about to open the very first box – when all of a sudden
I heard a knock – someone was at the door.
So, I opened it up and much to my surprise,
A SWAT team burst in and said, “Hold everything right there.”
“You’re under arrest.”
“Trafficing in stolen munitions… …Weapons of Mass Destruction.”
“You got any WMDs, here?”
I said, “…look, you couldn’t find ‘em in Iraq, you ain't gonna find ‘em in my living room.”
He said, “They gotta be here, someplace…”
And, ‘ motioned to the team
And they began to tear the place apart
They ripped down the walls – all the insulation coming out
Turned over all the furniture and even drilled a hole in the refrigerator
(I kinda liked that refrigerator)
Well, they finally got down to the boxes on the floor
And, opening them up they said, “…now, here’s a real score.”
“You’re coming with us, if you get the gist –
‘Cause now you’re on the terrorist list!”
No fly zone. Can’t leave the country. Surrender your passport.
So, I started to tell ‘em about the classified ad,
And, how I got the Drone – the latest fad
But, they didn’t seem to care or take no mind
As they cuffed me up from behind
“You’re going Downtown. Don’t even THINK about it.”
So, they took me down to the Situation Room
And introduced me as the Man of Doom
Where for 48 hours they grilled me straight
And The Man in Charge determined my fate
I asked him for a drink of water
Seems like what they wanted to know
Was who was in it with me – or was I acting alone
Was there a whole group or just a few
And did they reside here – what were they planning to do?
So, I was just about to spill – I couldn’t lie
When I suddenly noticed from the corner of my eye
The very same popular science magazine
Sitting on the desk of the in front of me
So, I picked it up and turned to the page
And, pointed it out with controllable rage
That right there, on page 59, was the item in question
Well, at that moment, The Man in Charge
Taken aback and still living large
Said, he had bought the very same one
And was happy as hell with it
No problems.
Working effectively.
Good manufacturing.
So, he started to laugh and slapped my back
And told me a joke to “set me on track”
And, before too long we were arm-in-arm
Buddies. Laughin’. Talking about Korea.
Vietnam. Grenada.
Then he said to me, “You’re free to go.
Don’t worry about a thing – just so you know.
The next time that you order that thing
Be sure to just give us a ring – notify us of your intentions.
Long as we know ' your intentions.
I said, “No problem.”
Well, I left that place never lookin’ back
And went on home and started to pack
And set out in my SUV to parts unknown – just feelin’ free
And, so, up from the rubble came Thunder “Dollar” Bill: battle-weary, time-tested. An unlikely character who would
probably rather, “...stay focused on the mission than get involved with all this.” But, still, with strong resolve, willing to do his part for conscience, country and the greater good.
