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
