about

An anti-draft registration and anti-war movement recruiting song from early 1980s, with some added updated anti-war warning lyrics from 2023.

lyrics

They want you to die for oil six thousand miles from home
They want you to die for profits, they want you to die all alone
They want you to die for Blinken
And so the Soros Dynasty can rule
Uncle Sam wants you
But only a fool
Would die to defend Chevron.

They want you to die for Mobil, they want you to die for the big banks
They want you to die for their markets, they want you to die for Wall Street
They want you to die for Lockheed,, and for the stock of Raytheon
Uncle Sam wants you
But only a fool
Would die to defend Chevron.

They want to draft you from high school and use your body as they wish
They want to test out their new missiles, they've gotten the nuclear itch
They want you to take on the Russians, so President Zelensky can rule
Uncle Sam wants you
But only a fool
Would die to defend Chevron.

They want to march you as a soldier to die on a battlefield
They want to use nuclear weapons, they still want to rule the world
They want you to die for Biden and forget about the price of food
Uncle Sam wants you
But only a fool
Would die to defend Chevron.

They want you to wave their flag as you stand there without any arms
They want you to sit in a wheelchair and wave your medals in a bar
They want you to kill for NATO
And die for Poland, too
Uncle Sam wants you
But only a fool
Would die to defend Chevron.
