You`re In The Army Now
You`re In The Army Now
Coincidenta sau nu, dar azi intorcandu-ma de la Tecuci am ascultat
You`re In The Army Now la radio si chiar ma gandeam ca de multe ori e folosit gresit atunci cand cineva vrea un cantec despre armata, ceva nu neaparat omagial, dar "de bine", nestiind ca de fapt e vorba despre un cantec anti-razboi, scris in 1981 de catre fratii Bolland, dar facut celebru in 1986 de catre Status Quo, cantec care parodiaza sistemul de recrutare american prea plin de poezie si des incriminat de catre miscarea hippie.
Dar iata si versurile piesei:
A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, 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 a hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
...
Smiling faces on the way to 'Nam
But once you get there no one gives a damn
...
Hand grenades flying over your head
The sun's flying over your head
If you wanna survive you're out of bet
...
Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls : "Stand up and fight! "
...
You've got your orders to 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
...
