[Hook]
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)

[Verse 1: Pharrell]
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

[Hook]
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)
