lyrics

Uncle Sam Wants You (To Give Him A Hug)

the military is a place for the poor, desperate and lost, there are promises and incentives but they come with a cost and for starters that would be your identity and your soul. uncle sams arms, you will go.

they will program you to be all you can be, brainwashed and conditioned to be a dehumanized machine. a hyper-masculine culture that doesn’t question what there’re told. uncle sam arms, you will go.

a power dynamic controlled by hierarchy, to survive you must play ball, follow orders and obey. you’re property of the government now, eight years of your life have been sold. into uncle sams arms, you will go.

now it’s time to deploy and fight a war in a foreign land, protecting investments and corporate interests for uncle sam.

and if you make it home, not in a box but alive, you’ll probably reenlist for the bonus because in a civilian world you can’t survive but if you separate from the military, you’ll have to battle the trauma ghosts, now uncle sam will gladly let you go and abandon you on the side of the road.
