Drill Sergeant

[Chorus]

Drill sergeant, I don't work for you

I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)

I'm a cashier, I'm good with books

I work at the Barnes & Noble store (Barnes & Noble store!)

You must think you're Orson Welles and this is 1954

You don't understand liberty, until

Someone speaks for yours (Someone speaks for yours)

[Verse 1]

Shame on you

Singing "Serve your country" while I'm young

Shame on you

Mixing my mind up, handing me guns

Bye bye, mom and dad and all

Just in case there is failure

I could be blaming you

But I've got something to tell ya

[Chorus]

Drill sergeant, I don't work for you

I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)

I'm a cashier, I'm good with books

I work at the Barnes & Noble store (Barnes & Noble store!)

You must think you're Orson Welles and this is 1954

You don't understand liberty, until

Someone speaks for yours (Someone speaks for yours)

[Verse 2]

Aim on you

You level their buildings, destroy their soil

Aim on you

Did you finally figure where to run that oil? (Fuck it)

Why cry if a man should die? (Why oh why)

When there's probable failure, or

I could just aim at you

But I've got something to tell ya

[Chorus]

Drill sergeant, I don't work for you

I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war!)

I'm a cashier, I'm good with books

I work at the Barnes & Noble store (Barnes & Noble store!)

You must think you're Orson Welles and this is 1954

You don't understand liberty, until

Someone speaks for yours (Someone speaks for yours)

[Bridge]

Maybe there's another way

That we can bond, bond, bond, bond

Bond, bond, bond, bond, bond

Maybe there's another way

That we can bond, bond, bond, bond, bond

Bond, bond, bond, bond

Maybe there's another way

That we can bond, bond, bond, bond

Bond, bond, bond, bond, bond

Maybe there's another way

That we can bond, bond, bond, bond

Bond, bond, bond, bond, bond

[Hook]

Drill sergeant, I don't work for you

I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war!)

I'm a cashier, I'm good with books

I work at the Barnes & Noble store (Barnes & Noble store)

You must think you're Orson Welles and this is 1954

You don't understand liberty, until

Someone speaks for yours (Someone speaks for yours)

[Outro]

Oh, ohh... (I'm not going to war!) I'm not going to – war

Oh, ohh... (I'm not going to war!) I'm not going to – war

Oh, ohh... (I'm not going to war!) I'm not going to – war

(I'm not going to war!)

Hey!
