A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army, nowNow 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, nowYou'll be a hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army, nowSmiling faces on the way to 'Nam
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army, nowHand grenades flying over your headThe sun's flying over your head
If you want to survive you're out of bet
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army, nowShots 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, nowYou've got your orders 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, nowNight is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you
