[N.E.R.D. - Drill Sergeant lyrics]
Drill sergeant I don't work for you
I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)
I'm a cashier wielding 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)
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 got something to tell ya
Drill sergeant I don't work for you
I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)
I'm a cashier wielding 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)
Aim on you
Level their buildings, destroy their soil
Aim on you
Did you finally figure where to run that oil
Fuck it why cry if man should die?
When there's probable failure or
I could just aim on you
But, I got something to tell ya
Drill sergeant I don't work for you
I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)
I'm a cashier wielding 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)
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
Drill sergeant I don't work for you
I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)
I'm a cashier wielding 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)
I'm not going to war
I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)
I'm a cashier wielding 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
