A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now; oh you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draft man said Nothin' to do all day but stay in bed You're in the army now; 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 you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land But once you get there, no one gives a damn You're in the army now; oh you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
*** Drums ***
*** Key change ***
Missiles flyin' over your head If you wanna survive get out of bed You're in the army now; oh you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls (Shout) Stand up and fight! (Sing) You're in the army now, oh you're in the army now
You got your orders, better shoot on sight Your fingers on the trigger but it don't seem right You're in the army now; oh you're in the army now You're in the army now; oh you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can see Is this illusion or reality? You're in the army now; oh you're in the army, in the army now You're in the army now; oh you're in the army now
Oh you're in the army, in the army now Oh you're in the army, in the army now Oh you're in the army, in the army now
