You're on your way to a foreign land
Now's the time to do what you 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 neighbourhood
Counting the days till you're back for good.

You're in the army now, oh, oh
You're in the army - now.


Smiling faces as you wait to land
Side by side, every woman and man
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 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've got your orders, better put things right
Your finger's on the trigger, now it's time to 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.

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, in the army - now.

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, in the army - now.
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.
