He graduated with a degree in Poli-Sci 

Premeditated what he would do until he died 

And then he faded into a never-rising sky 

Surfaced in the airforce, then learned how to fly 



Mulligan goes to war 

Mulligan goes to war 

The days are gone 

when he could tell you what he's fighting for 

Mulligan goes to war 



Flew helicopters with a patriotic grin 

Built up brick walls, rarely letting people in 

Had his pitfalls and he lived a life of sin 

That life is over now, the new one must begin 



Mulligan goes to war 

Mulligan goes to war 

The days are gone 

when he could tell you what he's fighting for 

Mulligan goes to war 



We all gotta go sometimes 



Made his living selling real estate 

Met his first wife, she came much too late 

To save the low man, he was slowly growing mad 

He lost his business, the economy went bad 



Mulligan goes to war 

Mulligan goes to war 

The days are gone 

when he could tell you what he's fighting for 

Mulligan goes to war
