[Verse 1]
Don't you go and get it twisted
They gotta get you stay the course
Couple babies with the missus, need to
Populate the armed force
Uncle Sam and the bald eagle
They told you not to be alarmed
Taking profit off of people, so they
Keep their soldiers armed

[Chorus]
But I don't wanna be part of the war machine (Hey)
They got me forced to work, but I'm born to party (Hey)
But I don't wanna be part of the war machine (Hey)
They got me forced to work, but I'm born to party

[Post-Chorus]
Born to party
Born to party

[Verse 2]
'Cause the congressmen, the contractor
They blow each other in DC
Can't get their heads around the fact of
Death funds economies
Then they get their kids the toy guns
Pray they never kill at school
Prefer that they could get that done for
The ol' red, white, and blue
[Chorus]
But I don't wanna be part of the war machine (Hey)
They got me forced to work, but I'm born to party (Hey)
But I don't wanna be part of the war machine (Hey)
They got me forced to work, but I'm born to party

[Post-Chorus]
Born to party
Born to party

[Chorus]
But I don't wanna be part of the war machine (Hey)
They got me forced to work, but I'm born to party (Hey)
But I don't wanna be part of the war machine (Hey)
They got me forced to work, but I'm born to party
