Song looks at the illusions versus the realities of war.
“I was at a County Fair several years ago and saw Marine Corps Recruiters with a red Hum-Vee [1] that had a monster stereo system and wondered what illusions and promises they were using to entice young people to sign up...”

Big red tricked out Hum-Vee [1]
Something young men have got to see
Money for college we will pay
If four years, you agree to stay
Sharp creased uniforms, you get to wear
Just let us shave off your hair

Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder

We will march you and make you drill
So you can charge up that hill
You are the few, you are the proud
We will make you shout it out loud
Make you part of the Marine Corps
From you, we want so much more

Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder

Teach you how to fight and kill
You’re immortal and it’s a thrill
Show you how to take a life
With just bare hands and a knife
Don’t have to worry about life being a bore
We’re going to ship you off to war

Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder


Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinde

In a combat zone, you just want to survive
Just trying to get out alive
Unlike the movies, war is not fun
Just a job that has to get done
After you start having nightmares,
The truth is that no one cares

Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
[1] A type of four-wheel-drive all-terrain military vehicle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humvee
