[Announcer, spoken]
Come with us, dear listener, as we go backwards in time, just a few years, to when John O'Brien was a regular citizen, like you, enjoying a few drinks at his local pub as had become his ever-increasing habit

[Recruiter, spoken]
Hey there buddy, you're looking down. Say, you're John O'Brien aren't you? Ah jeez, fella, I heard about what happened to your wife. Those damn rebels and their bombs, got no respect for law and order. Who, me? Well, look here, I'll level with ya. It's a damn shame to see a guy with your potential drink himself away like this, is all. Yeah, you, we think you got a lot of potential. That's right, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. I've got a proposition for ya

[Verse 1: Recruiter]
Things have got you down, you don't know where to run
They're picking off the things you love one by one
Well, I've got news for you:
A life you never dreamed, come true
The war department has a plan, needs men like you
We're setting up a special force to end this coup
Don't drown your sorrows, but
Quench your thirst on rebel blood

[Chorus: Recruiter]
Get it up, step it up
Grab a gun and settle it up
Enlist, get with the plan
'Cause Freedom Corps will make you a new man

[Verse 2: Recruiter]
We're gonna take and make you more than just a man
A god, a supersoldier, yes, an Übermensch
The next root race is on hand
You'll be the new age of man
So put away the drink and let us change your life
Protect your city, save the day, avenge your wife
Kill some rebs, win the war
And be a hero, be adored
[Chorus: Recruiter]
Get it up, step it up
Grab a gun and settle it up
Enlist, get with the plan
'Cause Freedom Corps will make you a new man (x2)
