In the Army Now - Songtext
von Status Quo

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
