Lyrics
41 Weeks Came home to a shop doing
work I already knew
41 weeks, 41 weeks
Two years in the field, now I'm cleared for the test
No more school, I already did the rest
From the service to the war
Passive interview in a tie that don't fit
Where'd you train, she asked I said, ma 'am, you're looking at it
Same schematics, same checklist
Just a different door
Same kind of mission on the hospital floor
41 weeks, 41 weeks
Two years in the field, now I'm cleared for the test
No more school, I already did the rest
From the service to the war
Who read the schematic?
We read the schematic
Who ran the check?
We read the check
Who came home and clocked right in?
We did
41 weeks, 41 weeks
Two years in the field, now I'm cleared for the test
No more school, I already did the rest
From the service to the war
