Lyrics and translation Mike Watt - The Blue Jackets' Manual

The Blue Jackets' Manual

What the hell, I'll try that
Buyin' into this military crap

Bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets'

Memory's an enemy
Forget? You goddamn bet!

Bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets'

Let the camp boot the fuck out of me
Knocked me clear right into next week

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets

There ya go, pogo
From spits and fits to slams and kicks

Bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets'

There's a flower
A purple flower pressed there
There's a flower
Next to the page on
Close order drill!

Whirling dervish with my fists in the air
I don't fuckin' even care

Bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets'

Don't think, don't blink
The drill, the drill - it fills and fills

Bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets',
Bluejackets', bluejackets', bluejackets'
The bluejackets' manual

Le Manuel des Bluejackets

Eh bien, je vais essayer ça
Je m'investis dans ce truc militaire

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets'

Le souvenir est un ennemi
Oublier ? Tu peux parier là-dessus !

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets'

Laisse le camp me botter le cul
J'ai été mis hors de combat jusqu'à la semaine prochaine

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets

Voilà, le pogo
Des crachats et des crises aux coups et aux coups de pied

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets'

Il y a une fleur
Une fleur violette pressée là
Il y a une fleur
A côté de la page sur
Le drill en rangs serrés !

Derviche tourneur avec mes poings en l'air
Je m'en fous complètement

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets'

Ne pense pas, ne cligne pas des yeux
Le drill, le drill - il remplit et remplit

Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets,
Bluejackets, bluejackets, bluejackets'
Le manuel des bluejackets
