Thanks for coming out
On my birthday
But please listen up
I've got something to say
I've joined the Red Cross
I'm gonna get lost
In some bloody war in Africa
I leave this month on the 23rd
I'm leaving behind
Everything fine
Unreal, contrived
So I can find out
What's really mine
I've joined the Red Cross
I'm gonna get lost
In some bloody war in Africa
Where machetes gangs roam the streets
I leave next week on the 23rd
