In the Army - Status Quo

Esta versión que realizaron los enérgicos británicos de ese alegato antibelicista compuesto por el dúo holandés Bolland & Bolland, supuso un enorme éxito en el año 1986 y volvió a colocar al grupo en lo más alto de las listas.

Como tengo más años que el fuego, recuerdo con nitidez escuchar el tema en la radio y en la televisión y puedo asegurar que fue un éxito gigantesco, pues sonaba constantemente en todos los medios.

Espero que os guste

A Vacation in a 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're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

You'll be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flyin' over your head, if you wanna survive
Get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army, now

Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls: "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

You got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Oh, oh you're in the army - in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army - in the army now
