Uncle Sam gave me a proposition

Fight his war and he’ll pay my tuition

America is the land of opportunity

Just risk your life and education's free.

Now what could be better than that?

I’m paying for my education

By fighting in a war of secret missions

According to Uncle Sam’s motivation

Give me a gun and a license to kill

Stick me with some frat boys lookin’ for a thrill

To fight in a war that I didn’t get to choose

But I’ve got free college, so there’s nothin’ I can lose

Now what could be better than that?

I’m paying for my education

By fighting in a war of exploitation

According to Uncle Sam’s motivation

Oh tuition money’s no good when you’re dead

It’s kinda hard to study with a bullet in your head

But Uncle Sam sure got his use of you

‘Cause you thought there was nothing you could do

Now what could be better than that?

It’s Uncle Sam’s motivation
