I Fought For This Country Lyrics
[Intro: Ben Fat L]
People just walked up to me the other day
And they were like, "Are you a veteran?"
And I said yes
[Hook: Ben Fat L]
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny
[Verse 1: Ben Fat L]
I fought for this country in the Vietnam War
I was back there and I saw a dinosaur
Brought it back to the U.S. for a treat
And then we ate some dinosaur meat
When I fought, they didn't know why
And I just said, "'Cause I got national pride"
And they were like, "Okay, well, I still don't really get it"
And then I was like, "Well, can you acquit it?"
[Hook: Ben Fat L]
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny, it's not even funny
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny, it's really not even funny at all
People just walked up to me the other day
And they were like, "Are you a veteran?"
And I said yes
[Hook: Ben Fat L]
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny
[Verse 1: Ben Fat L]
I fought for this country in the Vietnam War
I was back there and I saw a dinosaur
Brought it back to the U.S. for a treat
And then we ate some dinosaur meat
When I fought, they didn't know why
And I just said, "'Cause I got national pride"
And they were like, "Okay, well, I still don't really get it"
And then I was like, "Well, can you acquit it?"
[Hook: Ben Fat L]
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny, it's not even funny
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny, it's really not even funny at all
[Verse 2: Ben Fat L & Liam Inc.]
When I went back, and fought in the Civil War
I saw so many things, so many things galore
And I did it for the glory and the gold and the
And the glory
And that was just all part of the story
So when I went back and I won the war
I put (You fought for the South and didn't even won bro)
(Like, literally, like,) Ben
(You're literally, like, so conniving) You could tell that
[?] ([?], bro, [?] for this country, bro) 'Cause
[Hook: Ben Fat L & Liam Inc.]
I fought for this country (I mean like)
And it ain't even funny (Fought for this country before)
Yo, I fought for this country (C'mon, bro, you didn't even fight for this country)
And it ain't even funny, yeah
I fought for this country, pfft
And it ain't even funny, bah bah
I fought for this country
And it ain't even funny
[Verse 3: Liam Inc. & Ben Fat L]
Tap in!
I was there the very first war
I was fighting pigs like a boar
Revolutionary, that's where I was
People tried to mess with me and I was like, "Cuz"
War of 1812, you can catch me there
War of 1812, you can catch me there
Mexican-American War, Mexican-American War
Vietnam War, Korean War
I was playin' a bunch of games, people tryin' mess with me
I was [?] sayin' [?]
Luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh
Luh-luh-luh-luh-luh
I'm a revolutionary power, I'm a revolutionary soldier
I'm a revolutionary soldier, I'm a revolutionary soldier
Everybody tryin' mess with me but I'm just playing games
I don't even care what you 'bout to say to me
Boom! (Yeah, sure) Wah
When I went back, and fought in the Civil War

[Interlude: Liam Inc.]
I'm gonna pass this back to a little man (Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene)
There's a guy and he fought in every single war
250 confirmed kills
250 confirmed kills
250 confirmed kills
250 confirmed kills
[Verse 3: Ben Fat L & Liam Inc.]
Fighting for this country and I don't even know why (250 confirmed kills)
I just know that every time I kill a civilian it's so fly (250 confirmed kills)
Can you blame me? It's the casualties of war (250 confirmed kills)
You've never seen something like this before (250 confirmed kills)
[Outro: Ben Fat L & Liam Inc.]
Hold up, what did he say?
And I don't even know why
I just know that every time I kill a civilian it's so fly
I'm gonna pass this back to a little man (Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene)
There's a guy and he fought in every single war
250 confirmed kills
250 confirmed kills
250 confirmed kills
250 confirmed kills
[Verse 3: Ben Fat L & Liam Inc.]
Fighting for this country and I don't even know why (250 confirmed kills)
I just know that every time I kill a civilian it's so fly (250 confirmed kills)
Can you blame me? It's the casualties of war (250 confirmed kills)
You've never seen something like this before (250 confirmed kills)
[Outro: Ben Fat L & Liam Inc.]
Hold up, what did he say?
And I don't even know why
I just know that every time I kill a civilian it's so fly
