Miley Cyrus Lyrics - Mike Posner

[Verse 1] 

When I was a young man I carried my pack 

And lived the free life of the rover 

I smoked on sativa, guitar on my back 

And played my little songs all over 

[Pre-Chorus 1] 

But in 2010, my country said: "son 

It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done" 

And they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun 

And they shipped me away to the war 

[Chorus] 

And the DJ played Miley Cyrus 

A Party in the USA 

And the DJ played Miley Cyrus 

And we flew to the Afghan that day

[Verse 2] 

I remember the day our orders came in 

I was scared and my stomach was sinking 

And when Martinez got shot, I cried with my gun 

And I fired right back without blinking 

[Pre-Chorus 2] 

And we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well 

We chased them with bullets 

And we showered them with shells 

And in ten minutes flood we blown them to hell 

I thought of my mom in Atlanta 

[Chorus] 

Cause she always loved Miley Cyrus 

A Party In The USA 

Though the words seemed to take on new meaning 

As I turned nineteen on that day 

[Verse 3] 

I looked at my brothers who'd once been young boys 

And their eyes have gone black from the slaughters 

And for ten weary weeks I kept myself for life 

As we moved down the range towards the water 

[Pre-Chorus 3] 

But then one day a shell knocked my ass over head 

And when I woked up in my hospital bed 

And when I saw what it had done I wished I was dead 

I never knew there were worse things than dying 

[Chorus] 

And the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus 

As the doctors explained what was wrong 

Yeah, the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus 

But I no longer cared for that song 

[Verse 4] 

They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed 

And they sent us all home to Atlanta 

The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane 

I wore fatigues and a blood red bandana 

[Pre-Chorus 4] 

We landed on the same runway we'd lefted on February 

And when I looked down where my legs used to be 

I thanked God that no one was waiting for me 

To grieve and to mourn and to pity 

[End-Chorus] 

And the DJ played Miley Cyrus, again 

A Party In The USA 

And no one cheered they just stared at us 

And slowly turned their heads away 

Yes, they slowly turned their heads away
