Vacation in a foreign land Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now Do you remember what the draftman said Nothing to do all day but stay in bed You're in the army now In the army now You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood Nobody knows that you left for good In the army now Smiling faces on the way to hell But once you get there no one gives a damn In the army now Handgrenades flying over your head Missiles flying over your head If you want to survive, get out of bed In the army now Just ring out in the death of the night The sergeant called: Stand up and fight! You're in the army now In the army now You get your orders how to shoot on sight Got the fingers on the trigger But don't seem right You're in the army now In the army now Night is falling and you just can't see Is this illusion or reality? In the army now Is this illusion or reality?
