Now I Am In The Army

Verse 1

Left the couch

And my warm quilted bed

To follow a shouting man in green

Boot camp basics

Cuts on my knees

Slept on a wooden plank instead

Pre-Chorus

Sir yes sir

Now I scrub the metal pans

Sir yes sir

Empty pockets in my hands

Chorus

Now I am in the army

Marching while the sun is high

Now I am in the army

Trying not to sit and cry

Trying not to sit and cry

Doing pushups on the gravel

Eating soup from a tin can

Post-Chorus

Up at dawn

Oh oh

Halfway gone

Oh oh

Verse 2

Buzz cut scalp

Breezy and cold

The sergeant looks quite angry today

Staring at dirt

Staring at walls

Do exactly what I am told

Pre-Chorus

Sir yes sir

Polished up my heavy boots

Sir yes sir

Scaring off the new recruits

Chorus

Now I am in the army

Marching while the sun is high

Now I am in the army

Trying not to sit and cry

Trying not to sit and cry

Doing pushups on the gravel

Eating soup from a tin can

Post-Chorus

Up at dawn

Oh oh

Halfway gone

Oh oh

Bridge

Right foot

Left foot

Falling down

Right foot

Left foot

Join the town

I want my phone back

I need my bed back

Chorus

Now I am in the army

Marching while the sun is high

Now I am in the army

Trying not to sit and cry

Trying not to sit and cry

Doing pushups on the gravel

Eating soup from a tin can
