[Verse 1] Another unknown soldier Another lesson learned Kick the gas can over Strike a match, get back, and watch that sucker burn [Verse 2] Keep smilin' for the camera Keep wavin' to the crowd Don't let up for an instant Stay the course and make your mama proud [Chorus 1] You're the man Show 'em what you're made of You're no longer daddy's boy You're the man That they're all afraid of But you're only Cheney's toy [Verse 3] Another unknown soldier Who's seen it all before All in the name of Jesus Behind the razor wire and shackled to the floor [Verse 4] Just keep smilin' at the camera And keep that twinkle in your eye We don't need to know the answers Long as we're safe, just hit your marks and say your lines [Chorus 2] You're the man Show 'em what you're made of You're no longer daddy's boy Take a stand Give 'em what they paid for 'Cause you're only Cheney's toy [Verse 5] They'll take a fork and turn you over While the fat lady sings One more pin on one more shoulder Is all the future brings [Verse 6] For another unknown soldier Who don't know his own name And he won't get any older And he can't see for the shrapnel in his brain [Chorus 2] You're the man Show 'em what you're made of You're no longer daddy's boy Take a stand Give 'em what they paid for 'Cause you're only Cheney's toy [Chorus 3] You're the man Show 'em what you're made of You're no longer daddy's boy Ain't you grand With your guns a-blazin'? Bring 'em on, Cheney's toy [Outro] Ain't you grand With your guns a-blazin'? Bring 'em on, Cheney's toy Bring 'em on, Cheney's toy Bring 'em on, Cheney's toy
