In the Army Now lyrics

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 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 the hero of the neighborhood

Nobody knows that you left for good

You're in the army now

Oh, 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, oh you're in the army - now

Hand grenades flying over your head - - - - - -

Missiles flyin' 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 got your orders standing 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
