Expendable, I'm wearing red and I'm expendable You need me dead, I am dependable You need me live I'm not your guy Cause on the surface, where Spock and Kirk is It's almost certain that I'm gonna die Expendable am I
Terrible, when it comes to shooting I'm just terrible I shot into 110 rebels and didn't hit a single guy I couldn't hit the Death Star while on the Death Star I'd probably shoot my foot and then I'd cry A terrible shot am I
Back at the academy No one was as bad as me Though I tried my very best
Make my teachers all irate Puke from everything I ate Got an F on every test
Though it's selling what's my wish I broke the main deflector dish And they threw me out of class
And they caught me raising heck Naked on the holodeck I thought there's no way I can pass
And just when I thought that I was screwed They said "We've got the perfect job for you!" "You do?"
"You'll be expendable You will wear red and be expendable Forgetting deck, you are dependable In fact you are the perfect guy If shields are down or we blow a warp core It's almost guaranteed you're gonna fry! Expendable..." "...am I"
Back when I was just a teen Growing up on Tatooine Beggar's Canyon was my scene
But my aim was really bad Shooting fools i almost had With my trusty T-16
This made me a little stressed More than just a bit depressed Drowned my tears in Anchorhead
There I met a man named Big Said he had the perfect gig To put me to the test
And just when I thought that I was screwed He said "I've got the perfect job for you!" "You do?"
"You will be terrible, when it comes to shooting you're just terrible You'll shoot at 210 Gungans and not a single one will die We'll get the last laugh on Palpatine's ass By building him an army of guys So terrible..." "...am I!"
And that's how I became a red shirt And that's how I became a trooper And though apart we are pathetic Together we are super duper
"I'll shoot at you at you from a foot or two and much to your surprise I'll miss you!" "Yet I'll still die!" "I'll miss you!" "Yet I'll still find a way to die!"
