this song is play normally on the fret board, but it sounds good
slapped too
I have seen so many incorrect tabs of this song, so I decided to
tab it myself

| It's about Full Metal Jacket - Sgt Baker (played by R. Lee Ermey) was a dick of a drill instructor, this song is just sort of about the things he said and his goals. | |

| It's prety much about the Army, boot camp, or drill sargents in general. Satiring the way they will tear you apart verbally and rebuild you in their own image. "I will rape your personality, pummel you with my own philosophy, strip you of your self integrity to make you all just a bit like me" Basically just destroying an individual and building a clone of every other army recruit. Making them all into mindless machines to the purpose of killing. Les is very political man, and his politics are quite obvious with Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. | |

| This song is almost impossibly hard to play and sing at the same time, considering Les sings offbeat. | |

| Sounds a lot like Full Metal Jacket and the Marine Corps. Just like Slightly Shinobi mentioned, they tear you down and then bring you back up again in an image of a soldier. | |

| I think this song is about my english teacher, Mrs. Baker, who everyone really calls Sgt. Baker. It describes her really well. | |
