You're In The Army Now

{transcribed by Adri Verhoef, 8-8-1993}

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 draftman 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'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 on the way to 'Nam,
But once you get there, no-one gets out them,
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.

[break]

Handgrenades flying over your head,
Missiles 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're in the army now
Oh-oh, you're in the army, now.

You got your orders now 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.
You're in the army now
Oh-oh, you're in the army, now.
