A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-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-oo-oh, you're in the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you've left for good
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-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-oo-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-oo-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-oo-oh, you're in the army now

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