You're on your way to a foreign land
Now it's the time to do what you can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman 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 the hero of the neighbourhood
Come the day still you back for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
Side by side in the overland (?)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Handgrenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you wanna survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergant calls "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders stand up, put in sight (?)
Your finger's on the trigger, now it's time to fight
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
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 
In the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army 
In the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army 
In the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army 
In the army now

You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
