Richard Thompson: "Dad's Gonna Kill Me"


"Dad" is current military slang for "Baghdad" among soldiers in Iraq.

"Dad's in a bad mood. Dad's got the blues.
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose.
At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News.
Nobody loves me here."
--Richard Thompson (from "Dad's Gonna Kill Me ")
