Status Quo

In The Army Now

A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now, oh-oo-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-oo-oh you're in the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that
you've left for good
You're in the army now, oh-oo-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-oo-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-oo-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-oo-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-oo-oh you're in the army now
You're in the army now, oh-oo-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-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army
now
You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
