lyrics

I'm a poor junior trying to get through high school
Family can't pay for college, what can I do
The Recruiter in my lunch hall says he knows a way.
If I join up the military will pay all the way just sign up today

Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand

Once schools over I'm straight into boot camp
My units great they absolutely have my back
Well once I was hazed and proved I wasn't a fag
Now I'm ready to put those shit-stains in a bag
Toss the mag
Light up and take a Drag

Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand

I dropped out college because of the ghosts in my head
Now I'm back home with my girl and my gun under my bed
I'm begging for an excuse to claim self defense
It's my slice and I'm gonna stand my ground
A death mound
Que the mushroom cloud

Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are at best outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand

My american future must be bright and white
With my military training I'm ready to join the fight
Cause an alpha wolf has to protect his pack
And I already got her on kid number four
There will be more
Sign em' up for the core

Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are at best outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand
