"Bad To The Bone" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers Now on the day I was born The nurses all gathered round And they gazed in wide wonder At the joy they had found The head nurse spoke up Said leave this one alone She could tell right away That I was bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad - Let's move out ! - Get in front of that wall ! - B-B-B-B-Bad - Follow me !

Back to the sweet smell of mustard gas... and killin'. Little did I know what awaited for me. I've toured 11 separate engagements... from Iraq to Haiti, but nothin' I did would prepare me for this newest assignment. I was told it would be my greatest challenge. It was sure to be a living hell.
