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 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

Missile rounds 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

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

Oh, oh, you're in the army now
