Drone Operator Lyrics - Here Be Monsters - Jon Langford & Skull Orchard

I'm not really a soldier 

I'm more likely to die 

By car wreck or cancer 

Than an eye in the sky 

That follows them home 

Right in through their window 

They never know 

They never know 

When I was a young boy 

I played all the games 

Straight out of grad school 

Someone gave them my name 

So I drifted into 

A job with good pay 

Through traffic and construction 

I drive in every day 

Don't call me a coward 

I know what is allowed 

I'm like a god with a thunderbolt 

Sitting on a big white cloud 

I'm a drone operator 

With targets to scan 

I sit drinking coffee 

With one eye on the ground in the tribal lands 

I'm a drone operator 

I am part of a team 

I study my monitor 

Wipe some dust from the screen 

It didn't look like a wedding 

It really wasn't my call 

When it all was over 

We went to a bar, drank beer and watched basketball
