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 [bad word]  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 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 deep of night
 The sergeant calls (stand up and 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

 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 
 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 
 In the army now
 Oh, oh, you're in the army now
 Oh, oh, you're in the army
