A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does
the best he can. You're in the army now,
oh, oh you're in the army - now.
Now you remember what the draft man said,
nothing to do all day but stay in bed.
You're in the army now oh, oh you're
in the army - now.

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood,
nobody knows that you left for good.
You're in the army now oh, oh, you're in
the army - now.

Smiling faces at you way to 'lam,
but once you get there no one gives a damn.
You're in the army now, oh,
oh you're in the army -now.

Hand grenades flying over your head
, the sun's flying over your head.
If you wanna survive get out of bed. You're in
the army now, oh, oh, you're in the army - now.

Shots ring out in the dead of night.
The sergeant calls: "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the army now, oh, oh you're
in the army -now.

You've got orders don't shoot on sight,
your finger's on the trigger but it don't
seem right. You're in the army now, oh,
oh you're in the army - now. You're in the army
now, oh, oh you're in the army -now.

Night is falling and you just can't see,
is this illusion or reality. You're in the army now,
oh, oh you're in the army, in the army - now
. You're in the army now, oh, oh you're
in the army -now.
