Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A picture-perfect poster on the wall,
You heard the trumpet, you answered the call.
They promised you glory, they promised you pride,
But they never mentioned the fear inside.
[Chorus]
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now.
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now.
They march you left, they march you right,
You're moving straight into the night.
[Verse 2]
The boots are heavy, the rain starts to fall,
The sergeant is screaming, he's deaf to it all.
Your civilian clothes are packed in a box,
Now you're just running in tactical socks.
[Chorus]
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now.
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now.
They march you left, they march you right,
You're moving straight into the night.
[Bridge]
You remember your home, your bed, and your friends,
You wonder out here how the story ends.
No time for tears, no time for regret,
The target is locked, the perimeter's set.
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The helicopter is shaking the ground,
You look to the sky, there's no other sound.
You wanted adventure, you wanted a fight,
Now you're just praying you'll make it tonight.
[Chorus]
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now.
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now.
They march you left, they march you right,
You're moving straight into the night.
[Outro]
Into the night...
No turning back now...
You wear the uniform now,
You are in the army now...
