You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War

When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house



And you meet her folks



And they say that your hair's too long



And you're not their kind of bloke



They grab you by the collar



And they throw you through the door



You don't have to be in the army



To fight in the war

But arrive late on morning just because you missed the bus



The foreman says, "You're fired because your punctuality's poor"



You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war



Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night



And they say that you can't stay there



Just because your shirt ain't white



You're tired and you hungry and you cannot walk no more



You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war



Ain't no money, ain't no woman, ain't no roof above your head



So you lay down in the park and you wish that you were dead



The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw



You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war



The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw



You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war



You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war



You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war



You don't have to be
