Do you remember when they said they'd
blow our whole world into oblivion?
And that the war was a long way away and anyway
who gives a shit for your opinion!
I'm coming clean, I swear my dear,
I would be lost without it now.
and when my coat was stinking that evil smoke,
You thought my train got lost.
Hey! Somebody bombed the train!
They blew it right off of the rails,
So I can't see you today...
And the sailors, they all got out OK.
And made it back to Great Lakes
Sneaking whiskey back onto the base
Hey!, has anybody heard from Shane
I haven't seen him in days..
I hope he's not found near the rails!
And Julie, she loved to look at the trains,
And round out painting her nails;
in her cut-offs next to the rails
And the switch-men,
they all knew her by name
They waited for her on their breaks,
To check out her legs and her nails
In Waukeegan, there lies the county jail,
But I don't have the bail!
Has anybody here seen Shane?
Hey! Somebody bombed the train...
They blew it right off of the rails!
So I can't see you today...
Hey! Somebody blew up the train!
They knocked it right off of the tracks,
Has anybody here seen Shane?
Somebody's gotta pay...
Somebody's gotta pay...
Somebody's gotta pay...
Somebody's gotta pay...
Somebody's gotta pay...
Somebody's gotta pay...
Somebody's gotta pay!
