Vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now

Do you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
In the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
In the army now

Smiling faces on the way to [bad word] But once you get there no one gives a [bad word] In the army now

Handgrenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive, get out of bed
In the army now

Just ring out in the death of the night
The sergeant called: Stand up and fight!
You're in the army now
In the army now

You get your orders how to shoot on sight
Got the fingers on the trigger
But don't seem right
You're in the army now
In the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality?
In the army now
Is this illusion or reality?
