Stormtroopers Wasting Time (MP3, Lyrics) (Patreon)

I wrote this song as part of the In the 'Verse podcast I do with Mikey Mason. It is inspired by the opening scene of "Redemption" from the TV show The Mandalorian. The song is about two stormtroopers wasting time, gossiping about how their fellow stormtroopers bit the dust, before they are killed by IG 11. 

A womp rat sits up on a rockWe pull our blasters to give it a shockA few shots and every one a missWhy am I in the service

* We’re Stormtroopers wasting timeWe’re gossiping, cause we’re not feeling fineWe miss, no matter the shooterIf anyone needs a drinkWhy, it’s a stormtrooper!

Moth Gideon arrived disjointed.Killed a battalion to make a point, he didFlame throwers make me happyBut not the Force fireball coming right back at me

Only one Mando was standing guardI heard six Stormtroopers just fell like cardsThe troopers were armed outside a cavern doorThen Explosion and shrapnel and so much gore

That trooper must’ve been in shockWhen a droid opened up the airlockOh look the blaster shot just hit his calfBut the laser fence cut him in half

I ask you what’s in the bagYou just let your finger wagPlease please let me have a peekDang thing bit me. I let out and shriek

I wish I was a better shot.Guess I’m bad batch that can’t be taughtWe sit around shooting all dayGot nothing better to do or say
