lyrics

Todays heroes, tomorrows homeless

recruiter smiled so nice
straight teeth of perfect white
extending his right hand
to every dumb fuck kid
"have you ever thought of traveling the world?"
"you wanna go to college, get in shape, get all the girls?"

we shape em up
and ship em out
and send them off to get their brains blown out their mouths

the streets will flood
with your kids
now crippled vets with IED'd arms and legs
no benefits, or will to live
todays heroes, tomorrows homeless

so shape em up
and ship em out
send them off to get their brains blown out their mouths
shape em up
and ship em out
and leave them fucked until they're screaming: death won't stop cheating me.
