A vacation in a foreign land?
Uncle Sam does the best he can
(Chorus:)
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
Chorus
You be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
Chorus
Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
Chorus
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
Chorus
Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergeant calls (stand up and fight)
Chorus
You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger, but it don't seem right
Chorus (bis)
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality?
Chorus (bis)
