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'll be the hero of the neighbourhood,

Nobody knows that you've left for good

Smiling faces as you wait to land,

But once you get there no-one gives a damn

Hand grenades flying over your head

Missiles flying over your head,

If you want to survive get out of bed

Shots ring out in the dead of night,

The sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!'

You've got your orders better shoot on sight,

Your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right

Night is falling and you just can't see, is this illusion or reality?
