# Crackers & Cheese [Intro] Yeah... Uh... Another beautiful day in the field. You know what time it is. [Verse 1] Been humpin' all day with my pack on my back, Sweat through my cammies, now it's time to relax. We finally stop and they pass out the chow, I grab that brown bag, gotta open it now. I check the entrée, then I dig underneath, Looking through everything they issued to me. Don't care 'bout the matches, the gum, or the drink, There's only one thing that's been making me think. [Pre-Chorus] When you're out in the field, You know what I mean, Ain't nothing better Than finding that cheese. I got what I wanted, I'm ready to eat, Break open that package And give it to me. [Chorus] Crackers & cheese, Be coming in my MRE’s. You know what I knead. Crackers & cheese. [Verse 2] We're back on patrol and we're moving all night, NVGs down and we're keeping it tight. My rifle is heavy, my shoulders are beat, But all I can think about's when we can eat. We finally halt and I drop to a knee, Corporal says twenty, that's good enough for me. I reach in my ruck for that brown plastic sleeve, 'Cause I saved something special I know that I need. [Pre-Chorus] Don't need the heater, Don't need no steam, Don't need a chow hall To live like a king. Just give me a minute, Some shade and a seat, I'll open that package And get what I need. [Chorus] Crackers & cheese, Be coming in my MRE’s. You know what I knead. Crackers & cheese. [Verse 3] Now everybody knows when the MREs drop, The trading begins and it ain't gonna stop. One wants my candy, one wants my drink, One wants my crackers — now what do you think? You can take the coffee, you can take the gum, Take that applesauce, brother, I don't want none. But reach for my cheese and we're gonna have beef, That's government-issued morale relief. [Pre-Chorus] Regular cheese, That's good enough for me, But jalapeño? That's infantry currency. You better come ready If you're making a trade, 'Cause nobody's giving That packet away. [Chorus] Crackers & cheese, Be coming in my MRE’s. You know what I knead. Crackers & cheese. [Bridge] Out on the range, Out on patrol, Standing the watch When it's freezing cold. Sleeping in fighting holes, Mud to my knees, Still got one thing That'll keep me pleased. Crackers... And cheese. [Breakdown] Army got 'em. Navy got 'em. Air Force probably got 'em heated up already. Marines? We ate ours cold. Oorah. [Final Chorus] Crackers & cheese, Be coming in my MRE’s. You know what I knead. Crackers & cheese. Crackers & cheese, Be coming in my MRE’s. You know what I knead. Crackers & cheese. [Outro] Yeah... Crackers & cheese. Jalapeño cheese? Now we're talking. Save that shit for me.
