[Verse 1]
I got a story to tell, now listen up real well
Pay attention this way to what I got to say
Took it to the street, rap to the people we meet
Now we're rocking out hard to the suicidal beat
Tried to deny our right, so we put up a fight
Just doing our thang, they tried to call it a gang
Saw the way we look and that's all that it took
That's all she wrote, they had their scapegoat
[Chorus]
Dressed down
Homeboyz
Minority
Join the army
[Verse 2]
We're the few and the proud, we like to jam it loud
The music we play, won't have it any other way
We're armed to the bone with our music and our tone
Recruiting on the street with the sound of our beat
Growing larger every day and every time we play
Don't need no college plan, we're just a hard-rocking band
We like our music to please, but we ain't gonna appease
No pressure's too much to make us change our touch
[Chorus]
Hardcore
Metal
New wave
We're not a gang, join the army
[Verse 3]
Don't be no fool, don't let your prejudice rule
Don't judge us by your fear, judge us by your ear
Can't believe every word of every story you've heard
Just play the song, I know you'll start to rock along
Well, I don't care about the clothes you wear
It's the size of your heart, not the length of your hair
Don't make no difference to me, the color that you be
Black, white or brown, it's all the same to me
[Bridge]
Join the army!
Join the army!
Join the army!
Join the army!
The suicidal army!
[Verse 4]
Well, if you still don't believe, you best get up and leave
Do what you must do, but this ain't the place for you
You got no right, but if you start a fight
We'll be rockin' your head, but with our fists instead
I'll fight it with the band, right down till the end
Ask anyone I've met, this ain't no idle threat
Don't flap no fit and it won't come to this
But as for me, I'm down with the army
[Chorus]
New York
London
Venice
Why join a gang?
Join the army
[Outro]
Suicidal rock, join the army
Suicidal rock, join the army
Suicidal rock, join the army
Suicidal rock, join the army
Suicidal rock, I want you to join the army
