"It was drizzling" outside 
And I am feeling nothing 
And you're reading on the road again 
It reminds me of a day when 
Nothing happened 
Except I thought 
I meant something 
But for only a little while "Don't shake the military man's hand You know what will happen One shot and now you're in Japan" 
Hey could this be 
Is this one of those 
Burn essentials 
A talk back at a higher level 
Or is it a masquerade 
I'm in an earthquake with no breakables 
I'm in a car wreck with no pants at all 
I'm in a movie with no self-control 
And you said, "Don't shake the military man's hand You know what will happen One shot and now you're in Japan Don't shake the military man's hand You know what will happen Flashback and now you're in command" 
Grab my coat 
And make it snappy 
This is start your engine 
A self-start in self participation 
This is motivation
