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 draftsman 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 flying over your head If you want to 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'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, oh, you're in the army now 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
