18 now, you’re out of school, your childhood is spent
Work or war! Work or war!
All you’ve got to do is figure out how to pay the rent
Work or war! Work or war!
If you’ve got no money, then your life is up for hire
Work or war! Work or war!
Start the cycle, job to job and hope you don’t get fired
Work or war! Work or war!
Work for life to get what you need
Live as a wage slave to corporate greed
Or kill for cash, the government’s whore
These are your choices because they prey on the poor
Seen the commercials and it’s just a couple years
Work or war! Work or war!
Twenty thousand dollars towards a college and career
Work or war! Work or war!
They’re in the mail, they’re on the phone, it’s just a step away
Work or war! Work or war!
It’s kill or be killed, the G.I. bill doesn’t pay
Work or war! Work or war!
