In The Army Now

A vacation in the 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 a 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 on the way to 'Nam

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

Missiles flying over your head

If you want to 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 your orders to 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



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 - now
