Jet Fighter Lyrics
Mikey was a little boy, he loved to watch the clouds
He was born to fly
Mikey joined the Navy, his father was quite proud
Mother never wanted it that way
He got into the cockpit and rose up in the sky
Set his sights on Beirut and he let his missles fly
Boom, Boom!
Jet fighters never die
I don't know, but I've been told
It's been said that God is dead
Jet fighters never cry, jet fighters never die
The General smoked a Cuban blunt
Handled by the Reds
Then he poured a glass of Scotch
and tallied up the dead
The fighter banked into the night, then he caught a Sam
He rose up into Heaven with Jesus in his hand
Scenery was so beautiful, could not believe his eyes
Then he spotted John Wayne, he knew he had arrived
Jesus interrupted him, he had something to tell
They had to speak with Allah, he sent them both to Hell!
Boom, boom!
He was born to fly
Mikey joined the Navy, his father was quite proud
Mother never wanted it that way
He got into the cockpit and rose up in the sky
Set his sights on Beirut and he let his missles fly
Boom, Boom!
I don't know, but I've been told
It's been said that God is dead
Jet fighters never cry, jet fighters never die
Handled by the Reds
Then he poured a glass of Scotch
and tallied up the dead
He rose up into Heaven with Jesus in his hand
Scenery was so beautiful, could not believe his eyes
Then he spotted John Wayne, he knew he had arrived
Jesus interrupted him, he had something to tell
They had to speak with Allah, he sent them both to Hell!
Boom, boom!

Whatever (I Had A Dream)

It's fairly obviously about a boy who dreams of flying jet fighters and who gets shot down in Iraq (SAM being a surface-air missile).
I guess the message at the end is that killing, even on orders during war, still gets you a place in Hell.
well i guess it depends on whether you killed a bad guy or you killed an innocent person.

Essentially kid becomes a jet fighter pilot afraid of nothing one of the heroic army pilots. And there is some doubt if god exists. When he died God and Allah seamed stil alive in Jesus invited them, his killer instinct took over and now both God and Allah are death.
(That's even more death then to exist in heaven or hell I guess… are gods ilalive today?).
In short the army fucks it up again and is not to be proud off, his mother was right.
[Edit: Typo]
I think it means when you're in the midst of battle you don't rely on God.
it's the fucking butthole surfers, do any of their songs have a meaning? honestly.
