Don't start metalking, I could talk all night My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world to rights Called careers information, have you got yourself an occupation? Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else but here today There was a checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile But it's no laughing party when you've been on the murder mile Only takes one itchy trigger One more widow, one less white n*gger Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else but here today Hong Kong is up for grabs, London is full of Arabs You could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese line With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne But there's no danger, it's a professional career Though it could be arranged with just a word in Mr Churchill'sear If you're out of luck and out of work We could send you to Johannesburg Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army is on their way And I would rather be anywhere else but here today (x4)
