NER*D Drill Sergeant Lyrics

stomping of feet (marching)

[chorus]
Drill sergeant, not a word from you
I'm not going to war (I'm not going to war)
I'm a cashier at Goodwin Books
I work at the Barnes and Noble store (Barnes and Noble store)
You must think you're Orson Wells
And this is 1954
You don't understand liberty until
someone speaks for yours (someone speaks for yours)

Shame on you,
you say you serve your country
while I'm young
Shame on you,
Loosen my mind up, handing me guns
Bye bye Mom and Dad and all
just in case there's failure
I could be blaming you
but I've got something to tell ya...

[chorus]

Aim on you

"Perseverance"

Hate when they call me superstar
Do I look like a superstar?
Yet unreachable and very far
Ever noticed I'm right here wit ya'll?
I cover my face because
They do not need to see
I ain't no gangsta or no thug
I am just being me
The world smells of drama
So I cover up my nose
The faces like film leavin' out too long, gets overexposed
Getting praised by magazines
From the girlfriends in my clothes
I hope they still love me when I shun away 'cuz I am afraid to blow

[Chorus]
WANT WAR?
Well!
WAR WE'LL GIVE!
We'll be rocking this
BANDANA!
Well you/So You
CAN'T SEE s___!
[scream]

[2nd Verse]
Now the fear of blowing up
Definitely takes it's toll
It sends it's demons down to your mind to take control
If it thinks it's got my mind
Well it better think again
I got the pleasure of the piano
and this powerful pen
But you
[Shae:] (You!)
You want 15 minutes to shine what's your concept?
What's so interesting?
What's your desire?
Soon as you get your cover story
And your precious headlines
So sorry, so sorry, so sorry
They'll just f___ you from behind

[Chorus]
WANT WAR?
Well!
WAR WE'LL GIVE!
We'll be rocking this
BANDANA!
Well you/So you
CAN'T SEE s___!

[Bridge]
I don't wanna blow up
I'm smiling 'cuz I know
All the pieces that make me me
Will glisten from my soul
My self-esteem is not a fake
It comes from within
Come and take a picture,
I'll sign whatever you want my friend

Still
[Shae:] (Still)
Still
[Shae:] (Still)

Yeah!

War...

[Chorus]
WANT WAR?
Well!
WAR WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this
BANDANA!
Well you/So you
CAN'T SEE s___!
[scream]

WANT WAR!
You level their buildings, destroy their soil
Aim on you
Did you finally figure where to run that oil?
Why cry if a man should die,when there's probable failure?
Or I could just aim at you
But I've got something to tell ya...

[chorus]

Maybe there's another way
that we can b__pbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump (4x)

[chorus]

oooh, I'm not going to war, I'm not going to(4x)
Hey!
