Napalm Sticks To Kids!

A-10 A-10 flying high
Drop that napalm from the sky.


See those kids over by the river
Drop some napalm an' watch them quiver.


'Cause napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!


See those kids over by the lake
Drop some napalm watch them bake.


'Cause napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!


See those kids hidin' in the grass
Shove some napalm up their ass!


'Cause napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!

Part-1

Josh Stieber: In boot camp we trained with songs that joked about killing women and children




Part-2

They put us through psychological tests to see if we were willing to shoot civilians




Part-3

Josh Stieber: I refused to shoot where civilians might be killed and questioned why we were in Iraq



‘Ooh, Aah, I Want To Hurt Somebody, Ooh, Aah, I Want To Kill Somebody, Aaaaaaah!’
