( Jet airliner pilot song lyrics )
GIVE ME A HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE
Copyright © 2008 - mickterry.com

1: I am the pilot. I'm in charge of this whole plane.
And if Homeland Security gets their way,
things will never ever be the same.
I am the pilot. And they're talking striking back
with a missile that's loaded up aboard each plane
just to kill whoever might attack.

CHORUS:
Give me a heat seeking missile
to defend my jet airliner
& a forty-five automatic to protect all those on board.
Give me a heat seeking missile.
Don't want to be some wimpy whiner.
And then again, while we're at it,
how about one of those light saber swords?

2: I am the pilot. Never mind how nuts this sounds.
We can fin’lly fire back if we’re fired upon
by some terr’rist shooting from the ground.
I am the pilot. That’s assuming that they missed
and assuming that we can turn this plane around
to line up for such a sure-shot hit.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Load me up. Set me up.
Give me lots of weapons.
Strap a pistol to one leg and a knife to the other side.
Load me up. Set me up
with a chance for interception.
Way too long we’ve been just sitting there,
sitting ducks up in the sky.

3: I am the pilot. Never mind who might be at risk
or collateral damage down on the ground.
And that’s even if we do not miss.
I am the pilot. With these terr’rists still at large,
I guess that’s just the kind of thing we can expect
when we’ve got a cowboy still in charge.
CHORUS:
