[Verse 1]
Patch on the chest, grease on the hands
We know these birds, we know these cans
Deckplate bruises, safety wire scars
First aviation rate, right where we are
Turn a wrench, make it fly
Keep that engine clawing at the sky
If it coughs, if it shakes, if it quits
We drag it back with busted knits
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that rattle?
That’s our call
One more round
We haul it all
[Chorus]
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
AD crew, let the whole world know
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
Get that bird back up and go
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
Hands on steel, still ready to go
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
First aviation rate, we run this show
[Verse 2]
Mud on the boots, jet fuel breath
Long hard shifts and a grin on death
Hydraulic sweat and a busted glove
Still we climb when the push comes shove
Line by line, we keep her sound
Bring that wild machine back around
When the mission’s loud and the night runs thin
We’re the ones they call to spin it in
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that rattle?
That’s our call
One more round
We haul it all
[Chorus]
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
AD crew, let the whole world know
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
Get that bird back up and go
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
Hands on steel, still ready to go
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
First aviation rate, we run this show
[Bridge]
From the line to the line
We don’t fold
Salt in the veins
And a stubborn hold
If it’s broke, we own it
If it’s dead, we wake it
If it won’t move
We make it, make it
[Final Chorus]
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
AD crew, let the whole world know
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
Get that bird back up and go
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
Hands on steel, still ready to go
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
First aviation rate, we run this show
[Outro]
Patch on the chest, grease on the hands
First aviation rate, we take our stand
We suck, we squeeze, we bang, we blow
And we make those engines go
