MUSIC FOR SALE

[Verse]
Chris was just a boy
when he turned 18
not yet knowing his story
he joined the marines
had a bad attitude
a chip on his shoulder
he was cocky and rude
whatever you do don't call him a soldier

[Chorus]

he's 100 percent
bad ass
grade "A" marine
to call him a soldier
to him is obscene
he doesn't care
if you thank him for his service
he'd do it for free
but the money's a bonus
he's 100 percent American
grade "A"
bad ass marine

[Verse 2]

drill sergeant saw
this rude cocky boy
quickly laid down the law
cuz he was annoyed
this young little punk
had no idea of what was to come
13 weeks of hell
God what has he done
all day fitness and training
unending miles yet to run
he's too tired to sleep
too broke down to defy
oh my God 13 weeks
he so wants to cry

[Chorus]

but he's 100 percent
bad ass
grade "A" marine
to call him a soldier
to him is obscene
he doesn't care
if you thank him for his service
he'd do it for free
but the money's a bonus
he's 100 percent American
grade "A"
bad ass marine

[Bridge]

13 weeks of hell now complete
no longer a recruit he's officially a marine
never accepting defeat
he's a killing machine
a jarhead ready for the frontline
don't get in his way
he's ready for battle, ready to die
his life he'll lay down any day
the public sees him as a child
treat him as such
but this warrior is idle
he's always at the ready
prepared for war at hand
the public calls him a child
but he's more than just man

[Verse 3]

though too young to smoke or drink
he's ready for any war
no matter what you think
he's a member of the corps
he'll do what is ordered
fear tucked deep inside
whether protect our borders
or hunt those cowards that hide
this once rude cocky young boy
once the corps little house mouse
now can stand tall like a man
a devil dog that now can enjoy
a privilege few understand

[Chorus]

he's 100 percent
bad ass
grade "A" marine
a reaper of death
the judgement of men
he'll take their last breath
if it comes to that end
leaves no man behind
stands tall like he should
marines you'll find
are misunderstood

[Verse 4]

once a marine always a marine
few know what that means
to be called a soldier
is being obscene
cuz he's 100 percent American
bad ass
grade "A" marine
when the country needs protection
we know where to lean
a 100 percent American
bad ass
grade "A" marine
the few the proud the marines

[Outro]

The few
the proud
the Marines
