Miley Cyrus - Mike Posner

When I was a young man I carried my pack

And lived the free life of the rover

I smoked on sativa, guitar on my back

And played my little songs all over

But in 2010, my country said: «son

It’s time to stop rambling, there’s work to be done»

And they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun

And they shipped me away to the war

And the DJ played Miley Cyrus

A Party in the USA

And the DJ played Miley Cyrus

And we flew to the Afghan that day

I remember the day our orders came in

I was scared and my stomach was sinking

And when Martinez got shot, I cried with my gun

And I fired right back without blinking

And we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well

We chased them with bullets

And we showered them with shells

And in ten minutes flood we blown them to hell

I thought of my mom in Atlanta

Cause she always loved Miley Cyrus

A Party In The USA

Though the words seemed to take on new meaning

As I turned nineteen on that day

I looked at my brothers who’d once been young boys

And their eyes have gone black from the slaughters

And for ten weary weeks I kept myself for life

As we moved down the range towards the water

But then one day a shell knocked my ass over head

And when I woked up in my hospital bed

And when I saw what it had done I wished I was dead

I never knew there were worse things than dying

And the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus

As the doctors explained what was wrong

Yeah, the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus

But I no longer cared for that song

They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed

And they sent us all home to Atlanta

The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane

I wore fatigues and a blood red bandana

We landed on the same runway we’d lefted on February

And when I looked down where my legs used to be

I thanked God that no one was waiting for me

To grieve and to mourn and to pity

And the DJ played Miley Cyrus, again

A Party In The USA

And no one cheered they just stared at us

And slowly turned their heads away

Yes, they slowly turned their heads away
