A vacation in the 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 draft man 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`ll be a 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 on the way to `Nam
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You`re in the army now
Oh, oh you`re in the army - now

Hand grenades flying over your head
The sun`s flying over your head
If you wanna survive you`re out of bet
You`re in the army now

Oh, 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, oh you`re in the army - now
You`ve got your orders to 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
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 - now
