A vacation in a foreign land Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now 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, you're in the army now You'll be the hero of the neighborhood Nobody knows that you're left for good You're in the army now Oh, you're in the army now Smiling faces as you wait to land But once you get there no one gives a damn You're in the army now Oh, you're in the army now Hand grenades flying over your head Missiles flying over your head If you wanna survive, get out or bet You're in the army now 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, you're in the army now You're in the army now You've got your orders, let us shoot on sight Your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right You're in the army now 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, you're in the army now Oh, you're in the army now Thanks for watching!
