Never give up, never give up, never give up the army 

Join the army at seventeen

till you sware that you're a killing machine

three more rifles if they die

you got to do whatever the army says

Army life is killing me, me, me

Army life is killing me

Went to Belfast just for [bad word] fun

Walking about with my tommy gun

sit on a landmine, you wake up dead

you'll just be anounced in your local paper

Army life is killing me, me, me

Army life is killing me ... guitar...

Army life is killing me, me, me

Army life is killing me

The file is up, just the end of the morning

I gotta get up outta bed to teach

they walk to the gathering full of hate

you gotta do whatever the army says

Army life is killing me, me, me

Army life is killing me

Join the army to learn how to kill

Join the army to be a man

For our words an they want yours

is gotta do whatever army says
