Lyrics

Sgt. smiles, marine recruiter
Teach you to program computers
Teach you all the skills you need
You can die with dignity
I got a phone call from the sergeant yesterday
He had a message from the good old u.s.a.:
"Good grades, high i.q., you're one terrific guy
We'll let you push the buttons while the other people die."
No way, that's what I say
I don't want to be a marine today
Sgt. smiles, marine recruiter
Teach you to program computers
Teach you all the skills you need
You can be a fucking pig
And that's why the sergeant smiles
Everyday in high school when I got home
Marine recruiters called me on the phone
Oh god, never thought it would come to this
I get cards I get calls now I'm on the mailing list
Mom I'm not home if they call me on the phone
