He graduated with a degree in Poli-Sci

Premeditated what he would do until he died

And then he faded into a never-rising sky

Surfaced in the airforce, then learned how to fly



Mulligan goes to war

Mulligan goes to war

The days are gone

when he could tell you what he's fighting for

Mulligan goes to war



Flew helicopters with a patriotic grin

Built up brick walls, rarely letting people in

Had his pitfalls and he lived a life of sin

That life is over now, the new one must begin



Mulligan goes to war

Mulligan goes to war

The days are gone

when he could tell you what he's fighting for

Mulligan goes to war



We all gotta go sometimes



Made his living selling real estate

Met his first wife, she came much too late

To save the low man, he was slowly growing mad

He lost his business, the economy went bad



Mulligan goes to war

Mulligan goes to war

The days are gone

when he could tell you what he's fighting for

Mulligan goes to war
