You kind of have to feel bad for the guy Ben Kenobi just Force-controlled into letting him and Luke abscond with, excuse me, leave with the droids they were looking for... right?

V1 Yes, you gave us a description, and gave us a location You gave us everything we’d need to find We saw them on the speeder, our commendations waiting Until that fuzzy feeling wrapped my mind

V2 I don’t know how it happened, I don’t know where they went My thoughts just blew away like dust and sand I clean forgot the mission, my memory was bent And then the old man spread an open hand

CHORUS How could I know those were the droids that we were looking for? How could I fight his calm command to say “Okay, just move along”? And now I’m in this cell because I lost them My Imperial career’s gone super-wrong

V3 I don’t see how I could ever stop a Jedi They are wizards, they are demons, they are death They can bend your mind like rubber, they can grip your mind like steel It was over before I could draw a breath

CHORUS

BRIDGE I didn’t know what I was doing when I told them “move along” I had no way to stop from saying what I said That Jedi man, he simply looked at me and pushed me Not with his hands, you understand - but with his head!

V4 Yes, of course I know that I have I failed my duty Yes, ignored the simple orders that you gave I could not stop them taking off their booty Of those two droids you said we had to save

V5 Forgive me, sergeant, but I could not stop him The Jedi have this power, yes, they do I couldn’t face his mind control, I just had to obey And if you’d been with us, you would've too!

CHORUS

OUTTRO Oh, my Imperial career’s gone super-wrong Oh, my Imperial career’s gone super-wrong My Imperial career’s gone super-wrong!
