In the land of nothings free
Where the poor leave home for war
Most of us see the same two choices
Too scared to change at all

Your eagle hat won’t keep you safe
Beanie Babies make poor weapons
Easy Cheese is not good food
So throw away your rations

Use it up, wear it out
Make it do or do without
If you still have any doubt
Do you scream when lights go out?

So buck up, get tough
When survival becomes art
It’s not enough to say you will
It’s not all Pac-Man and Pop Tarts

When you go out, watch for jackals
Do not waste your gasoline
Make sure that you watch your water
You don’t need to be that clean

If you discover other people
There are things you must unlearn
The flag is stuffed into a bottle
Now its time for things to burn

Use it up, wear it out
Make it do or do without
If you still have any doubt
Do you scream when lights go out?

It’s not the time to stand in line
The secret cops catch every part
of anything that moves or speaks
It’s not all Pac-Man and Pop Tarts

So buck up, get tough
When survival becomes art
It’s not enough to say you will
It’s not all Pac-Man and Pop Tarts
