A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
Youre in the army now
Oh, oh youre in the army - now

Now you remember what the draft man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
Youre in the army now
Oh, oh youre in the army - now

Youll be a hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
Youre in the army now
Oh, oh youre in the army - now

Smiling faces on the way to Nam
But once you get there no one gives a damn
Youre in the army now
Oh, oh youre in the army - now

Hand grenades flying over your head
The suns flying over your head
If you wanna survive youre out of bet
Youre in the army now

Oh, oh youre in the army - now
Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls: stand up and fight
Youre in the army now

Oh, oh youre in the army - now
Youve got your orders to shoot on sight
Your fingers on the trigger but it dont seem right
Youre in the army now

Oh, oh youre in the army - now
Night is falling and you just cant see
Is this illusion or reality
Youre in the army now
Oh, oh youre in the army - now
