Lyrics
Do you remember what the draft-man said:
Recalling the words of the draft-man
"Nothing to do all day but stay in bed"
Describing a scenario of having nothing to do but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Confirmation of being in the army
In the army now
Reiteration of being in the army
You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Suggesting one will be seen as a hero in the local area
Nobody knows that you left for good
Highlighting the secrecy of leaving permanently
In the army now
Reaffirmation of the situation of being in the army
Smiling faces on the way to hell
Observing happy faces despite heading towards a difficult situation
But once you get there no one gives a damn
Implying that once in the challenging situation, nobody cares about one's well-being
In the army now
Re-emphasizing the state of being in the army
Hand grenades flying over your head
Describing dangerous objects flying overhead
Missiles flying over your head
Continuing to describe the perilous situation
If you want to survive, get out of bed
Advising to take action for survival
In the army now
Repeating the acknowledgment of being in the army
Just ring out in the dead of the night
Portraying a scenario of calling out during a quiet time
The sergeant called: "Stand up and fight!"
Ordering to stand and fight from a sergeant
You're in the army now
Reiteration of the confirmation of being in the army
In the army now
Reaffirmation of being in the army
You get orders how to shoot on sight
Receiving instructions on when to shoot
Got the fingers on the trigger
Being ready to engage but feeling a moral conflict
But it don't seem right
Expressing a sense of ethical unease
You're in the army now
Reiterating the confirmation of being in the army
In the army now
Reaffirmation of being in the army
Night is falling and you just can't see
Uncertainty about the surroundings as darkness falls
Is this illusion or reality?
Questioning whether the situation is real or a mirage
In the army now
Reiteration of the state of being in the army
Is this illusion or reality?
Repeating the query about the reality of the situation
