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
[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
[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
