When I was a
child
The bam and kaboom
The flashing colors in the sky
The bam and kaboom
The flashing colors in the sky
Thrilled me
I would
pretend that I
The boy, I, the
hero,
Was shooting
down
Enemy planes and
enemy jets.
I would pretend that I
I would pretend that I
The boy, I, the
hero,
Was saving
America,
Protecting
women
Protecting
children
When I was a
child
the bam and
kaboom
The flashing
colors in the sky
Thrilled me
Not now, not
anymore
Death and
sorrow
Pain and
anguish
The bam and
kaboom
Scream of shattered body parts
Scream of shattered body parts
Flashing
their bloody
Awful colors
in the sky
And every year I watch
And every year I watch
Hoping,
wishing, praying
That once
again
The bam and
kaboom
The flashing colors in the sky
The flashing colors in the sky
Will thrill
me
