Status Quo - In the army now

Το τραγούδι αυτό είναι κλασσικό και το ξέρω, αλλά τόσα χρόνια ποτέ δεν είχα ακούσει με προσοχή τους στίχους! Είναι πραγματικά πολύ καλοί! Σαφώς και δεν έχει σχέση με την δική μας στρατιωτική θητεία. Αναφέρεται στον Θείο Σαμ, για τις κατατάξεις των Αμερικανών, πως τους έλεγαν ότι θα είναι τα πράγματα και πως είναι τελικά στην πραγματικότητα! Όπως έλεγαν και στον Asterix&Obelix οι ταλαίπωροι Ρωμαίοι λεγεωνάριοι "Καταταχτείτε μας έλεγαν..."




Ορίστε και οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού:

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 draftsman 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 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 flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergeant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

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

Oh, oh, you're in the army now
