18 now, you're out of school, your childhood is spent

work or war

all you've got to do is figure out how to pay the rent

work or war

if you've got no money then your life is up for hire

work or war

start the cycle, job to job and hope you don't get fired

work or war

work for life

to get what you need

live as a wage slave to corporate greed

or kill for cash

the governments whore

these are your choices because they prey on the poor

seen the commercials and it's just a couple years

work or war

twenty thousand dollars towards a college and career

work or war

they're in the mail, they're on the phone, it's just a step away

work or war

it's kill or be killed, the g.i. bill doesn't pay

work or war
